How to Deploy ISO

[athijssen]

Thanks to @Impact I was able to setup 5 VM's!


During the creation process I specified the ISO's i wanted on each server.

I was able to install the Linux ones but the 2 windows ones say no boot device, i guess the images I loaded arent bootable. I know how to make a bootable image for those, but i need help on how to replace the ISO's that i loaded when generating the VM with a bootable one. Or find another way to boot those VMs from a USB stick


Thanks again for all help and sorry i'm a linux noob but learning every day and excited to make progress here!

Windows has a very specific driver support requirement. You either need to provide the VIRTIO drivers during the install phase, or install on a supported type of the controller.

There's also best practices articles in the wiki. For example

• https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_11_guest_best_practices
• https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2025_guest_best_practices

We'd need to see the whole no boot device message and the Options and Hardware page of your windows VM to tell you more about the boot failure.
You can exchange a ISO file on the Hardware page of a VM by editing the existing DVD drive or adding a new one via Add. Dont forget to update Options > Boot Order.

It seems that you simply didn't press a key fast enough. Please also use the recommended settings from the links above such as discard.
