This is similar to a Kickstart or PXE script in the Linux world, providing answers to questions usually presented to users during initial setup. This will prepare the instance and tell the system to run cloudbase-init. There are two ways to convert the machine into a template in Proxmox.
The first is to right click on the created machine, and select Convert to template : -. In regards to the first, Cloudbase-Init supports the following cloud-config modules at the time of writing : -. This issue, combined with Cloudbase-Init not supporting cloud-config network module to customize our network configuration means that we must rely on DHCP. In most cloud environments, IP addressing normally ephemeral i. If you treat the instance in this manner, then DHCP provides the same sort of functionality.
However if you are expecting to be able to use static addressed instances, then you may need to look at other methods than cloud-config. We use a feature called multi-part content to leverage both cloud-config and Powershell to configure the instance.
You could extend this to use more complex Powershell scripts, setting the timezone, creating users and more. Without this, the Terraform provider will crash. We should be able to provide a static IP here, but as noted previously, the format Cloudbase-Init provides DNS nameservers in is not compatible with Cloudbase-Init, meaning that we would not be able to access any hostname-based service eg our Salt server, or downloading dependencies.
The last part of this is due to running the Qemu Guest Agent. Proxmox sees that the IP address return is an IPv6 address, and returns it to the Terraform provider. However if we look in the Terraform state, we are still managing this machine: -. It appears that while the terraform apply operation produces an error, it is after all configuration has taken place.
Terraform does however mark the instance as tainted i. You can then verify with a terraform plan that instance matches what we defined: -. Alternatively, if you do not install the Qemu Guest Agent, then the Terraform provider will complete without issues. It is worthwile running the Guest Agent safer shutdowns, exposes information to the hypervisor regarding the instance , but it is not necessary to the day to day running of the machine.
As per the previous post, we also run a highstate i. As mentioned, the Minion configuration specifies that it will run a highstate when the key is accepted. We can verify this seeing if the instance has registered with Consul and that the Windows Exporter is running: -.
Looks like they are working! It is worth nothing that we do not set a hostname in cloud-config for our machine, so it uses a randomly generated hostname instead. As a last step of verification, we can run another highstate to ensure that no configuration files change, or any other packages are due to be installed: -. Also, as we are using the same Salt states, we should expect to see the instance like we do in this post: -. Windows 10 in KVM: change boot disk to Virtio.
In Proxmox Windows 10 had trouble initializing. I am aware that the preferred approach is the use the Virtio device from the start and install the appropriate virtio driver when prompted. All the answers are correct but you may need to perform few additional steps after you have installed virtio drivers. Here are the steps I followed:. Note: In Safe mode all boot-start drivers will be enabled and loaded, including the virtio driver.
Since there is now a miniport installed to use it, the kernel will now make it part of the drivers that are to be loaded on boot and not disable it again. A fairly simple answer is provided - and may work in many cases, along with hints at other options.
If like me you're not able to switch to IDE and forced to use VirtIO, then the following alternative approach might work:. You can maximize performances by using VirtIO drivers. Windows does not have native support for VirtIO devices included. But, there is excellent external support through opensource drivers, which are available compiled and signed for Windows:. I booted live ubuntu disk and I see that both of them recognized and worked The drives are all detected in BIOS but it seems that there is no driver support for this particular card and so no drives show up to the installer.
Debian installer stretch also does not detect them even when So we got a fancy new supermicro server were trying to install proxmox on now. The installation went pretty smooth. However, I can't get either of the onboard NICs to work. The supermicro docs list them as an Intel C platform.
But my laptop must also be in the same time server and client, I want to be able to connect on the vm from the laptop that host the vm in the same time.
