Installation of proxmox into existing partition

[felipe]

Hi,

i tested proxmox and it really has exactly the features we want to have. i would like to change our 7 production servers from kvm virt-admin to proxmox. the biggest problem is that i dont want to copy away all the guest images. we use lvm on 2 disk. the second should not be a problem- but the first one is also used as the host os and has also one big volume group.

sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk
sda1 8:1 0 46.6G 0 part /
sda2 8:2 0 46.6G 0 part [SWAP]
sda3 8:3 0 1.7T 0 part (LVM GROUP)

is there any way to install proxmox on sda1 without destroing other partition tables?


thanks
philipp

special boot options won't help you I guess... http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Debugging_Installation

another way could be to find a way installing wheezy server on the right partition and then proxmox pve on top: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install...xmox_VE_on_existing_Debian_Wheezy.2864_bit.29
