💻 II-A-1. VM Creation Wizard (General): Setting VM ID and Name

 

🚀 ProxmoxVE #VMCreation #FirstStep: #Guide to #General #Settings (VM ID, Name, Node)

In the previous #lecture, you #learned how to #upload the #ISO #image #file #essential for #VirtualMachine (#VM) #installation to #local #storage

Now, we #begin the #process of #defining the #actual #virtual #machine #instance using the #VM #Creation #Wizard in the #ProxmoxVE #WebConsole

In the #General #tab, the #very #first #step of the #VM #Creation #Wizard, you #specify the #VMID (the #unique #identifier of the #VM), the #Name, and the #Node where the #VM will #actually #run

This #step is the #foundation of #virtual #environment #management, so #systematic #naming #conventions and #accurate #Node #selection are #extremely #important

This #post will #detail each #setting #item in the #General #tab and #guide you on how to #create the #optimal #VM #creation #conditions


1. Executing the #VM #Creation #Wizard and #Accessing the #General #Tab



#VM #creation #starts with the #Create #VM #button in the #left #menu

A. #Starting #VM #Creation #Path

  1. #Log into the #ProxmoxVE #WebConsole

  2. #Click the #Create #VM #button in the #upper #right #corner of the #screen (The #VirtualMachine #Creation #Wizard #starts)

B. #Key #Setting #Items in the #General #Tab

In the #General #tab, the #first #tab of the #wizard, you #set the #following #three #essential #pieces of #information:

  1. #Node: #Select the #physical #server (#Node) where the #VM will #actually #run

  2. #VMID: #Set the #unique #identification #number for the #VM

  3. #Name: #Set the #VM's #name so that the #administrator can #easily #recognize it


2. #VMID #Setting: #Specifying the #VM's #Unique #Identifier

The #VMID #must have a #unique #value that #doesn't #overlap across the #entire #Proxmox #cluster

A. #Role of #VMID

  • #Uniqueness: #VMID is the #core #value that #identifies the #VM in the #database, and it #cannot be #changed #after #setting

  • #Automatic #Assignment: When the #Create #VM #window #opens, the #smallest #unused #number is #automatically #suggested

B. #Tips for #Systematic #VMID #Management

It is #efficient to #predefine the #VMID #range for #management in #anticipation of #large #scale #operations

  • #Example #1 (#Grouping #by #Purpose): #Assign #Windows #servers to the #100s, #Linux #servers to the #200s, etc

  • #Example #2 (#Grouping #by #Node): #Assign #VMs #created on #Node1 to the #1000s, #Node2 to the #2000s, etc


3. #Node #Selection: #Specifying the #Server Where the #VM Will #Run

In a #single #Node #environment, there is #no #choice, but in a #cluster #environment, #resource #distribution must be #considered

A. #Criteria for #Node #Selection

  • #Resource #Availability: #Select the #Node with the #most #available #hardware #resources such as #CPU, #RAM, and #storage

  • #High #Availability (#HA) #Planning: #Consider whether there is a #plan to #fix the #VM to a #specific #Node or #configure it to be #migratable

B. #Node #Setting #Confirmation

#Select the #target #Node for #VM #creation from the #Node #dropdown #menu


4. #Name #Setting: The #Starting #Point of #Management

The #Name is the #most #intuitive #information for #identifying the #VM and can be #freely #changed

A. #Entering the #Name #Field

  • It is #best to #write it #clearly, #including the #VM's #purpose, #OS #information, #environment #information, etc. (e.g., WebSrv-Ubuntu2404-Dev)

B. #Tip for #Utilizing #Name #Convention

A #consistent #naming #convention is #extremely #useful when #managing #dozens of #VMs

  • #Include #Components: #Include the #purpose (Web, DB, WAS), #OS #type (Ubuntu, CentOS, WinSrv), #environment (Prod, Dev, Test), etc

  • #Examples: DB-MySQL-Prod-01, WAS-NodeJS-Dev-03

If you have #finished the #General #tab #settings, you can #click the #Next #button to #proceed to the #next #step, which is #specifying the #OS #installation #media
