INSTALLATION IN HYPER-V FAILS

[falves1]

I want to use Proxmox for the container functionality only, under Hyper-V. The installation launches as machine type II, and the installer starts, but it fails because it cannot find a cdrom. Kindly fix this or give me a workaround.

Hi,
perhaps you should ask this in an Hyper-V Forum?

The response has no merit. All ISOs from every Operating System install just fine in Hyper-V. The only case where it fails is the Proxmox ISO. It absolutely is a bug in the installation script. Please notice that if it got so far, there is no need for a CDROM, since it booted from the ISO.

Hi,
you know that PVE is an bare metall system?

And no - it's depends on the "bios" how the cdrom looks.

But perhaps the devs have enough time...

Proxmox wants to be a "bare metal" system, but in reality, it would work great as a pure container solution, inside a virtual machine with a lot of resources, either on Hyper-V or Vmware.
