Hardware Configuration

[Syed Maaz Rehan]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum and this is the first time I'll be working with Proxmox.
I have been tasked to install Proxmox on a whitebox solution having the following specification:

1. Intel Atom® E3845 Quad Core Processor
2. 4 Threads, 2M Cache, up to 1.91 GHz
3. Four Intel I211-AT Gigabit Ethernet
4. Intel® AES-NI & Secure Key
5. RJ45 Console, HDMI Display, USB 2.0, USB3.0
6. Support up to 8GB DDR3L Memory
7. Support Dual Storage (mSATA SSD & 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD)
8. Intel® HD Graphics
9. Aluminium Alloy Dustproof Fanless

Advanced Technologies:
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) Intel® 64 Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology Intel® HD Audio Technology

Two hard drives
1. SSD 2.5"
2. 500 GB SATA.

Is it possible that I can work with this setup for testing purposes and moreover is it also possible that I can reserve one drive for the Proxmox OS and one for the actual VMs?

Kindly let me know.

should be doable, but i would not expect wonders from a quad core atom (in terms of performance)

Thanks. What about the hard drives?

what do you mean?

you can of course use an extra disk for the vms.. did you see the reference documentation? https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/
