Installation Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please insert the installation CD-ROM, then boot from that
drive. Immediately afterwards you can choose the following menu
options:
Install Proxmox VE::
Start normal installation.
Install Proxmox VE (Debug mode)::
Start installation in debug mode. It opens a shell console at several
installation steps, so that you can debug things if something goes
wrong. Please press `CTRL-D` to exit those debug consoles and continue
installation. This option is mostly for developers and not meant for
general use.
Test Memory::
Runs 'memtest86+'. This is useful to check if your memory if
functional and error free.
You normally select *Install Proxmox VE* to start the installation.
After that you get prompted to select the target hard disk(s). The
`Options` button beside lets you select the target file system, and
defaults to `ext4`.
If you have more than one disk, you can also select ZFS here. ZFS
supports several software RAID levels, so this is specially useful if
you do not have a hardware RAID controller.
The next pages just asks for basic configuration options like time
zone and keyboard layout. You also need to specify your email address
and select a superuser password.
The last step is the network configuration. Please note that you can
use either IPv4 or IPv6 here, but not both. If you want to configure a
dual stack node, you can easily do that after installation.
If you press `Next` now, installation starts to format disks, and
copies packages to the target. Please wait until that is finished,
then reboot the server.
Further configuration is done via the Proxmox web interface. Just
point your browser to the IP address given during installation
(https://youripaddress:8006). Proxmox VE is tested for IE9, Firefox 10
(https://youripaddress:8006). {pve} is tested for IE9, Firefox 10
and higher, Google Chrome (latest).
