**To define the total size of hd to be used (Only Proxmox > 2.3): hdsize=X (where X is in GB, and affects /dev/sda2 size (/dev/sda1 is small and only for boot). This way you can save free space on the HD for further partitioning (i.e. for an additional PV and VG on the same hard disk that can be used for LVM storage type).

**To define the amount of logical volume "data" space (/var/lib/vz): maxvz=X (where X is in GB).
 
−
**To define the amount of free space left in LVM VG 'pve': minfree=X (where X is in GB, 16GB is the default if storage available > 128GB, 1/8 otherwise)

Introduction

This is a quick install guide for Proxmox VE.

Additionally, we also provide a "howto" for installation on an Debian 6 Squeeze or Debian 7 Wheezy or Debian 8 Jessie, Debian 9 Stretch or Debian 10 Buster

Get the ISO

Download the ISO image and move it to a USB media, see Install from USB Stick. Or just burn a CD.

Minimum requirements, for evaluation

  • CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64), Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard (for KVM Full Virtualization support)
  • RAM: 1 GB RAM
  • Hard drive
  • One NIC

Start the installation

The Gui installer supports mouse and keyboard. The tab key as well as hot keys can be used. Click->I Agree is a button press. IP address:< your host Ip> is a label with an option.
