Hi iam newbie at promox, already installed Promox in one machine and create one VM Ubuntu.

Can i boot the VM Ubuntu or VM Windows in the same machine is installed the proxmox?
The Proxmox machine have monitor and keyboard my idea is to use VM windows for example.


Regards
 
That's usually done the other way around, i.e.:
  • Install a regular Linux or Windows dual-boot setup, although you will need a seperate physical drive for PVE and your other OS (since you'll need to seperate GPTs/MBRs)
  • Then, in PVE create a new VM, only add a scratch drive and no install medium (you can delete the added drive afterwards if you want, you won't be using it)
  • Then, attach the physical drive to the VM (in the shell: qm set -scsi0 /dev/sdX - take care not to attach your PVE root disk, this *will* break your system)
