| #+title: Provisioning a Proxmox VM | ||||
| #+author: Kevin Muller, Hans van Zijst & Nicolas Jeannerod | ||||
| #+date: <2024-10-25 Fri> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| * Fediversity Proxmox | ||||
| - http://192.168.51.81:8006/. | ||||
| - It is only accessible via Procolix's VPN; see with Kevin. | ||||
| - You will need identifiers. Also see with Kevin. Select “Promox VE authentication server”. | ||||
| - Ignore “You do not have a valid subscription” message. | ||||
| * Basic terminology | ||||
| - Node :: physical host | ||||
| * Preparing the machine configuration | ||||
| - It is nicer if the machine is a QEMU guest. On NixOS: | ||||
|   #+begin_src nix | ||||
|   services.qemuGuest.enable = true | ||||
|   #+end_src | ||||
| - Choose name for your machine. | ||||
| - Choose static IPs for your machine. The IPv4 and IPv6 subnets available for | ||||
|   Fediversity testing are: | ||||
|   - ~95.215.187.0/24~. Gateway is ~95.215.187.1~. | ||||
|   - ~2a00:51c0:13:1305::/64~. Gateway is ~2a00:51c0:13:1305::1~. | ||||
| - I have been using id ~XXX~ (starting from ~001~), name ~fediXXX~, ~95.215.187.XXX~ and | ||||
|   ~2a00:51c0:13:1305::XXX~. | ||||
| - Name servers should be ~95.215.185.6~ and ~95.215.185.7~. | ||||
| - Check [[https://netbox.protagio.org][Netbox]] to see which addresses are free. | ||||
| * Upload your ISO | ||||
| - Go to Fediversity proxmox. | ||||
| - In the left view, expand under the node that you want and click on “local”. | ||||
| - Select “ISO Images”, then click “Upload”. | ||||
| - Note: You can also download from URL. | ||||
| - Note: You should click on “local” and not “local-zfs”. | ||||
| * Creating the VM | ||||
| - Click “Create VM” at the top right corner. | ||||
| ** General | ||||
| - Node :: which node will host the VM; has to be the same | ||||
| - VM ID :: Has to be unique, probably best to use the "xxxx" in "vm0xxxx" (yet to be decided) | ||||
| - Name :: Usually "vm" + 5 digits, e.g. "vm02199" | ||||
| - Resource pool :: Fediversity | ||||
| ** OS | ||||
| - Use CD/DVD disc image file (iso) :: | ||||
|   - Storage :: local, means storage of the node. | ||||
|   - ISO image :: select the image previously uploaded | ||||
| No need to touch anything else | ||||
| ** System | ||||
| - BIOS :: OVMF (UEFI) | ||||
| - EFI Storage ::  ~linstor_storage~; this is a storage shared by all of the Proxmox machines. | ||||
| - Pre-Enroll keys :: MUST be unchecked | ||||
| - Qemu Agent :: check | ||||
| ** Disks | ||||
| - Tick “advanced” at the bottom. | ||||
| - Disk size (GiB) :: 40 (depending on requirements) | ||||
| - SSD emulation :: check (only visible if “Advanced” is checked) | ||||
| - Discard :: check, so that blocks of removed data are cleared | ||||
| ** CPU | ||||
| - Sockets :: 1 (depending on requirements) | ||||
| - Cores :: 2 (depending on requirements) | ||||
| - Enable NUMA :: check | ||||
| ** Memory | ||||
| - Memory (MiB) :: choose what you want | ||||
| - Ballooning Device :: leave checked (only visible if “Advanced” is checked) | ||||
| ** Network | ||||
| - Bridge :: ~vnet1306~. This is the provisioning bridge; we will change it later. | ||||
| - Firewall :: uncheck, we will handle the firewall on the VM itself | ||||
| ** Confirm | ||||
| * Install and start the VM | ||||
| - Start the VM a first time. | ||||
|   - Select the VM in the left panel. You might have to expand the node on which it is hosted. | ||||
|   - Select “Console” and start the VM. | ||||
| - Install the VM as you would any other machine. | ||||
| - [[Shutdown the VM]]. | ||||
| - After the VM has been installed: | ||||
|   - Select the VM again, then go to “Hardware”. | ||||
|   - Double click on the CD/DVD Drive line. Select “Do not use any media” and press OK. | ||||
|   - Double click on Network Device, and change the bridge to ~vnet1305~, the public bridge. | ||||
| - Start the VM again. | ||||
| * Remove the VM | ||||
| - [[Shutdown the VM]]. | ||||
| - On the top right corner, click “More”, then “Remove”. | ||||
| - Enter the ID of the machine. | ||||
| - Check “Purge from job configurations” | ||||
| - Check “Destroy unreferenced disks owned by guest” | ||||
| - Click “Remove”. | ||||
| * Move the VM to another node | ||||
| - Make sure there is no ISO plugged in. | ||||
| - Click on the VM. Click migrate. Choose target node. Go. | ||||
| - Since the storage is shared, it should go pretty fast (~1 minute). | ||||
| * Shutdown the VM | ||||
| - Find the VM in the left panel. | ||||
| - At the top right corner appears a “Shutdown” button with a submenu. | ||||
| - Clicking “Shutdown” sends a signal to shutdown the machine. This might not work if the machine is not listening for that signal. | ||||
| - Brutal solution: in the submenu, select “Stop”. | ||||
| - The checkbox “Overrule active shutdown tasks” means that the machine should be stopped even if a shutdown is currently ongoing. This is particularly important if you have tried to shut the machine down normally just before. | ||||
