Proxmox is a powerful virtualization system. You can create multiple operating system inside your PC on top of Proxmox . The latest version when I wrote this tutorial is Proxmox version 2.0. In this Proxmox tutorial, we will show you how to create a new virtual machine on Promox 2.0. Make sure your Promox system is installed correctly.
1. Log in to Proxmox web administration page. You can access this page via your browser and point to the address https://192.168.1.10:8006. Where 192.168.1.10 is my Proxmox IP address.
2. After log in, click Create VM. This button is located on top right of your Proxmox web administration. Enter the VM name. The VM ID usually entered automatically.
3. Press Next and you are guided to select the OS type from the list. You can install Linux, Windows or any other OS.
4. Specify the installation media. You can upload you ISO files to /var/lib/vz/template/iso directory on Proxmox server. Or, you can use your CD/DVD on the host to be used for the installation media.
5. Next, you must configure the hard disk. Enter the disk size in Gigabyte and also you can select the Image format from the list. Proxmox supports Raw disk image, Vmware image, and QEMU image formats.
6. Next, configure the CPU.
7. Specify the RAM amount for the new VM. Please note that this memory will share with the main memory. Make sure you have sufficient RAM on Proxmox server.
8. Select your network hardware and mode
9. All done, confirm your settings for the new VM and press finish when done.
11. Now you can start your new VM using start button.
Viola, the new VM is now up and running. Use the same way to create another VMs. Enjoy!
