Empty Templates list

[yesmat]

Hi All,

My first post on the forum. I just installed Promox 1.3 on a small Intel Atom based PC.

I have uploaded an iso file to the local machine using the GUI, but I can't create a new VM because the Template list is empty. Under Type there is only OpenVZ.

There is also a kind of warning on the top of the screen that says "Attention: This CPU does not support KVM virtual machines (no Intel VT / AMD-V support)"

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Hi,

You can download the template dans "Appliance Templates" on the right menu

For debian, your find her the template

For KVM to work you need a processor with certain hardware support.
Easy way to check:

egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo

The atom chips (afaik) dont have this:

In your setup you can only use openvz virtualisation, so you are not able to use iso images.
Use the "appliance templates" (left column) and then the download tab to download the os/system of your preference to your local machine (red arrow in front of the line)
Then go to "virtual machines" and the create tab.

Hope this helps

Apologies for my quick post without reading first, I was really excited to have discovered Proxmox.

After my post I started reading other posts and discovered that without KVM I will not be able to use iso file that are purposfully built for apps that we use.

Using OpenVZ will not really work for us since we can't really build our apps from scratch on top of CentOS, fedora core or Debian. we prefer to use the iso files that installs all we need and have been tested and optimised. (unless there is away to create a template from our app that is running on a physical machine using something similar to vmware P-2-V converter)

Now my question is if we change our hardware and use a platform that is virtualisation capable and we could run KVM, would the virtual machines built using isos and KVM be of the same calibre and performance to the other ones that are built using OpenVZ? I am talking about Linux machines mostely using CentOS.


Many thanks
are looking to use Proxmox

Intel Atom does not have VT so you cannot use KVM - but OpenVZ containers works well.
