💻 II-A-1. ISO Image Upload: Storing ISO Files on Local Storage

 

💾 ProxmoxVE #VM #Creation #Preparation: #Guide to #Uploading #ISO #Images to #Local #Storage

To #create a #VirtualMachine (#VM) and #install an #OperatingSystem (#OS) in #ProxmoxVE, you need an #installation #media #file

This #installation #media is #mostly in the #form of an #ISO #image #file and must be #stored on #storage that #Proxmox can #access

The #easiest and #most #basic #method is to #directly #upload the #file via the #webconsole to the #local #storage #included within the #Proxmox #node #itself

This #post #guides you through the #specific #steps for #uploading and #managing an #ISO #file on #local #storage, which is the #first #step in #building your #virtual #environment


1. #Understanding #Proxmox #Storage #Structure and #ISO #File #Storage #Location



#ISO #files can #only be #stored on #specific #storage #depending on whether the #content #type is #allowed

A. #Role of #Local #Storage (#local)

  • #local #storage: This is the #disk #area #within the #node that is #created #by #default when #ProxmoxVE is #installed

  • #Storable #Contents: It is #configured to #store #various #file #types such as #ISO #images, #container #templates, and #backup #files, #rather #than for #storing #VM #images (#configuration #check #needed)

B. #Checking the #ISO #File #Storage #Path

  1. #Select the #Node (#Node #Name) in the #left #navigation #panel of the #webconsole

  2. #Click the #Storage #tab

  3. #Select the #local #storage and #check if #ISO #Image is #checked in the #Contents #area

    (You #must #select #storage that #allows #ISO #file #uploads)


2. #Steps to #Upload #ISO #Image via #Webconsole



#Use the #upload #function of the #web #interface to #transfer the #file from your #local #PC to the #server

A. #Accessing the #Upload #Menu

  1. #Select the #local #storage (e.g., local) where you #want to #save the #ISO #file in the #left #navigation #panel of the #webconsole

  2. #Click the #ISO #Images #tab at the #top of the #main #panel

  3. #Click the #Upload #button

B. #Selecting #File and #Executing #Upload

  • #Content: #Confirm that #ISO #Image is #selected

  • #File: #Click the #Upload #button to #select the #ISO #file on your #local #PC (The #time #taken #may #vary #depending #on the #file #size)

  • #ID #and #Filename: #Automatically #entered, but can be #changed if #necessary

  • #Checksum: #Optional, but it is #good to #select a #checksum #type for #file #integrity #verification #after #upload

  1. #Click the #Upload #button to #start the #file #transfer

C. #Verifying #Task

  • The #upload #progress is #displayed in the #task #window

  • Once the #upload is #complete, you can #confirm that the #new #file has been #added to the #ISO #Images #tab #list


3. #Method for #Deleting and #Managing #ISO #Images



#Unused #ISO #files should be #managed #periodically to #prevent #wasting #local #storage #space

A. #Deletion #Method

  1. #Select the #file to #delete in the #ISO #Images #tab

  2. #Click the #Remove #button

  3. #Click #Yes in the #confirmation #window to #remove the #file

B. #Storage #Capacity #Management

  • Since #local #storage is #also #used for #Proxmox #system #operation, #care #must be #taken to #ensure the #capacity does #not #fill #up due to #ISO #files

  • If you #need to #store #large #ISO #files or a #large #number of #files, it is #efficient to #configure #separate #shared #storage (#NFS, #etc.) and #use it #specifically for #ISO #storage

#Uploading #ISO #images is an #essential #preparation #step #before #VM #creation, and in the #next #lecture, you will #learn how to #create an #actual #virtual #machine #using this #file
