How to install OS in KVM (qemu)

[Spiritus]

Hi guys,

I try to install an OS to one of my KVM (made with qm) but i don't know how should i do that.

I tryed to link the cdrom (ide2) of my first kvm with the iso but it didn't work :

qm set 100 -cdrom debian-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso

400 Parameter verification failed.
cdrom: invalid format - format error
cdrom.file: invalid format - unable to parse volume ID 'debian-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso'

My main idea was to bind the iso on the cdrom and then boot on the cdrom.

Do you have an idea ?

Thank you for your futur answer

Ps : I only use cli

if you running Proxmox why use CLI for this?
kind of defeat the purpose...

I don't the think the problem is why i use CLI and not web interface, but i will answer, i like understand what i'm doing and i configure my server on a serial port without GUI.

Hi,
you missed the storage and iso-part:

qm set 100 -cdrom local:iso/debian-8.7.1-amd64-netinst.iso

should work. (local is the storage-name, which is used in /etc/pve/storage.cfg).

sorry, I should have said I did not know what the problem is but was just curious on why use CLI when a nice Web interface is there for you. if you want to use CLI than you can easily just run any Linux distro like Debian, ReadHat or CentOS
with KVM installed. without any overhead or extra service.
use of CLI does not truly say you know what you are doing. just show that you know the commands to use. IMHO.
