Today I want to show you how to install Microsoft Windows Server 2019 on Proxmox VE.
- First we need to setup a new environment for our Microsoft Windows Server 2019 by clicking “Create VM” button
- Now we need to give ID of the VM and name for it
- Here we have to choose the guest OS Type, storage and ISO image
- Now it’s time to choose SCSI adapter for our VM
It is recommended to choose SCSI Controller like this: VirtIO SCSI - In this step we have to choose the SCSI options.
Once again it is recommended to choose Bus/Device: SCSI, and Cache: Write back.
Here we can also choose our Storage place and Disk size. - Here we have to setup CPU setting for our VM
- Memory settings
- Network settings
Since I have here two NIC’s – one for administration (1GBit), second one for VM machines (10GBit) – I choosed the vmbr1 interface bridge to get 10GBit on that. To achieve this I had to choose VirtIO (paravirtualized) which offers 10GBit Lan.
- Confirmation
If you use VirtIO devices such as Netword and HDD we don’t wan’t to tick the Start after created option. We have to add something to our VM.
- Additional settings
Now we have to add a new hardware device which is CD/DVD Drive for all VirtIO drivers which you can download them from here.
- We have to choose the ISO file from our storage.
- And now we are ready to run our Microsoft Windows Server 2019 on Proxmox VE
In the next part I will try to show you how to install Microsoft Windows Server 2019 on that VM machine.
