Automatic Installation

[tachra]

Hello,

I have a question to see if i can do this in Proxmox KVM?
- I will use ProxmoxVE for WHMCS from modulesgarden
- I wanna use OS Template Automation
- How can i create Windows and Linux VMs from OS Template but with HDD size of my desired Plan.
for example: i have created a windows server 2003 template from a VM with 20GB HDD and 512MB ram and etc
i wanna create a VM from this temaplate with 100GB HDD and 2GB RAM, The Module can do this but the HDD size within the VM is not changed and Drive needs to be extended
another thing is if i want to give IPs automatically to VMs ....
Is these things possible within ProxmoxVE?

To be correct we have to say:

Clone a VM from a template where a certain OS (Windows, Linux) is installed.

Answer:

You cannot change the HDD size in a "Linked Clone" - you have to create a "Full Clone". The result is an indpendent VM you can change everything then.

another thing is if i want to give IPs automatically to VMs ....

Use DHCP. Install at Proxmox VE isc-dhcp-server.

Ok, im doing exactly the same thing

You cannot change the HDD size in a "Linked Clone" - you have to create a "Full Clone". The result is an indpendent VM you can change everything then.

I'm not using Linked Clone, I'm using Full Clone, but the Problem is that when i Change HDD size from Proxmox Panel or WHMCS Module by ModulesGarden, HDD Size will not be affected within the VM it self.
Should i use a Particular Configuration For the template or HDD Type or etc?

Use DHCP. Install at Proxmox VE isc-dhcp-server.

I dont wanna use DHCP, i want to assign an IP to a VM while Cloning it or etc, just like how VMmanager (by ISPsystems) or SolusVM does ...
