Introduction

This is a quick install guide for Proxmox VE 2.0. (For the upgrading 1.9 to 2.0, see Upgrade_from_1.9_to_2.0.)

Additionally, we provide a howto for Install Proxmox VE on Debian Squeeze

Get the ISO

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

Start the installation, new boot options

  • The installer now supports partitions greater 2 TB
  • At install time, at the boot prompt you can specify "linux" followed by one or more optional parameters, see below:
    • Default partitioning uses still ext3, if you want ext4 just type: ext4
    • To define the amount of root partition's disk space: maxroot=X (where X is in GB).
    • To define the amount of swap partition's disk space: swapsize=X (where X is in GB).
    • 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 PVE LVM : minfree=X (where X is in GB, 16GB is the default)
  • Example, 'linux ext4 maxroot=25 swapsize=8 maxvz=400 minfree=32'
  • follow the instructions as always
