CML on Proxmox

Requirements:
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
