### CML on Proxmox
##### Requirements:
- Installed and configured Proxmox node (or cluster) from https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads
- Downloaded CML installation ISO/OVA and refplat ISO image
##### Install CML from ISO
- Import install and refplat ISOs via GUI (Folder View / Storage / local storage / ISO images / Upload or Download from URL)
If upload is not working (wrong file extension error), copy ISO files to /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ (or any other ISO compatible storage) on Proxmox host via shell.
- Start creating new VM
- General tab
- fill VM name
- OS tab
- switch storage to one where ISOs were uploaded
- select CML install ISO from ISO image dropdown
- System tab
- select VirtIO SCSI single controller
- switch BIOS to OVMF (UEFI)
- select some storage for EFI disk
- Disks tab
- set disk size to at least 32GB
- CPU tab
- set needed number of Sockets and Cores
- CPU type must be set to 'host' to support nested virtualization
- Memory tab
- set amount of memory
- Network tab
- choose correct network/MTU etc for first interface (if more interfaces are needed, they must be added after VM creation via Hardware / Add / Network Device option)
Finish VM creation. Start VM and follow install instructions. Switch install iso for refplat when needed.
##### Install CML from OVA
- Import reflat ISO via GUI (Folder View / Storage / local storage / ISO images / Upload or Download from URL)
If upload is not working (wrong file extension error), copy ISO file to /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ (or any other ISO compatible storage) on Proxmox host via shell.
- Copy OVA file to folder for example /var/lib/vz/template/ova/ on Proxmox host.
- Unzip OVA with 'tar -xf cml2_2.7.0-5_amd64-21.ova' command.
- From /var/lib/vz/template/ova/ run import commad: `qm importovf 107 cml2_2.7.0-5_amd64-21_SHA256.ovf local-lvm`. 107 is VM id, choose some not used already, and local-lvm is VMs storage.
- Go to Proxmox GUI and open newly created VM (id 107 in our case).
- Edit HW of VM:
- switch BIOS to OVMF (UEFI)
- add new HW 'EFI disk'
- set processor type to 'host'
- change SCSI controller to 'VirtIO SCSI single'
- add Network Device and set model to 'VirtIO Paravirtualized' (add more NICs if needed)
- add CD/DVD Drive and select appropriate storage and iso image
Boot VM and complete CML installaion
