FortiSIEM installation in VM

I'm installing a trial license of FortiSIEM on a windows Hyper-V VM in my laptop. As per the instruction manual, I've set up a Supervisor and set up the Network configuration for it. When I accessed the IP for the Supervisor using my browser, I'm getting an option to select the 'Event Database' consisting of 4 choices: EventDb on Local Disk, EventDB on NFS, ClickHouse and Elasticsearch. I don't have access to elastic or clickhouse so I'm planning to go with EventDB on Local Disk. My plan is to learn FortiSIEM implementation using this trial version so I can get an idea how it works. I'm new to this and was not able to find any tutorials regarding this except for the user guide. The thing is, when I enter the diskname which I had setup, I'm getting an error as shown: 'Storage test error: Invalid string given for disk name.' I tried providing the disk name alone and also tried by providing the path, but I'm getting another error stating: 'Invalid Disk Name...' because backslash and colon are not allowed. Is there any workaround for this?

Hi Lamar4,
Please review the following Guide:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortisiem/6.7.8/hyper-v-installation-guide/131018/fresh-installat...
I'm not sure the path that you are using, but you should use the correct format.
Review the following article:
