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 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 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 LVM VG 'pve': minfree=X (where X is in GB, 16GB is the default if storage available > 128GB, 1/8 otherwise)
  • Example, 'linux ext4 maxroot=25 swapsize=8 maxvz=400 minfree=32'
  • follow the instructions as always

For any issue, please use the Proxmox VE 2.x Forum.
