Step-By-Step Install Guide Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on Proxmox VE Server

Introduction
In this Hands-on lab, youre going to learn how to install and configure Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE)
server a professional virtualization platform used to make virtual machines based on KVM and OpenVZ
technologies. Proxmox VE is an easy to use open source virtualization platform based on Linux and used
for running virtual appliances and virtual machines. It is a product aimed at companies and production
environments, since it intends to be an easy deployment and management solution.
Hands-on Solution:
In this Hands-on Lab session, youll learn how to install and configure Proxmox VE. Next, youll learn how
to build and deploy virtual machines on Proxmox VE. In this lab you have opportunity to deploy Ubuntu
Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS server which you can use to deploy any application of your choice. You may also
use Proxmox VE to build and deploy your own private cloud using OpenNebula, Eucalyptus Systems etc.
Part 1: Installing and Updating Proxmox VE Server
Proxmox VE supports three types of virtualization technologies:
Container virtualization (OpenVZ): it allows that a physical server can run multiple insolated
operating system instances as well known as containers. Its main problem is these containers or
guests can just be Linux instances. However, the OpenVZ kernel provides better performance
(penalty between 1% and 3% compared to a standalone server) in contradistinction to other
alternatives.
Full virtualization (KVM): it can run Linux and Windows guests but unlike OpenVZ, Intel VT or
AMD-V CPU is needed.
Paravirtualization (KVM): it presents a software interface similar to the underlying hardware in
order to try to reduce the execution time of certain operations.
Note: in our lab, we think that OpenVZ is a plus because it has got better performance than KVM and
the containers idea is fantastic: the size of these templates is really small and you can get a ready
virtual machine in few minutes.

Step 1: Getting Started & Hardware Pre-requisites
1.1 System requirements
For production servers, high quality server equipment is needed. Keep in mind, if you run 10 Virtual
Servers on one machine and you got a hardware failure, 10 services are lost. Proxmox VE supports
clustering, means that multiple Proxmox VE installations can centrally managed via the included cluster
functionality.
Note: Proxmox VE can also use local storage (DAS) and SAN.
Minimum requirements for evaluation:
CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64), Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard (for KVM Full
Virtualization support)
Minimum 1 GB RAM
Hard drive
One NIC
Recommended system requirements:
CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64), Multi core CPU recommended, Intel VT/AMD-V capable
CPU/Mainboard (for KVM Full Virtualization support)
4 GB is good, more is better
Hardware RAID with batteries protected write cache (BBU)
Fast hard drives, best results with 15k rpm SAS, Raid10
Two NIC
1.2 Summary of Proxmox VE Installation
Proxmox VE installs the complete operating system and management tools in 3 to 5 minutes (depends on
the used hardware).
"Bare-metal" means that you start from a empty server - there is no need to install a base operation
system.
Including the following:
Complete operating system (Debian Lenny 64)
Partition the hard drive with LVM2
Proxmox VE Kernel with OpenVZ and KVM support
Backup/Restore tools
Web based management interface
Proxmox uses LVM - See backup and restore of LVM data.
Warning: the complete server is used and all existing data is removed.

Step 2: Install Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE)
1. Hope over to http://www.proxmox.com/downloads/proxmox-ve/17-iso-images website and download
the Proxmox VE 1.8 ISO which at the time of writing this lab manual was "Proxmox VE 1.8 ISO
Installer"
2. Once you have downloaded the Ubuntu ISO specific to your distribution, you have the option burning
it into CD or just by using the ISO package to install it from your virtual machine, in our case VMware.
3. Fire-up a new virtual machine and perform the initial configuration and setup to use ISO package.
4. Start the virtual machine, and you should be able to see the first Proxmox VE installation screen.
5. From Fig. 1, and hit Enter key to start installation.
Fig. 1
6. From Fig. 2, Proxmox Installer screen, wait for the system to complete the current process, itll
continue after that.
