Hi
Proxmox 4.2 look good nice and clean. Doing my first install, copied the iso's to /var/lib/vz/template/iso.

Create VM,
Now point to local for ISO for install of Win2012R2, nothing shows up.
I have had this happen previously when there is space in iso name.
Double checked, no spaces.
Has the file locations been moved ???
If so, what are the new locations for
ISO's
Confug files
VM's
Please.

Tom

The files are there but do not display when pointing CD to iso file Local Nothing displays. Where as displasyed choice of iso's in folder???
 
mmm... curious....
From the Web GUI, I select Create VM, and when try to list the ISO images from local storage the same problem (show me nothing).
Then, I navigate to local (node-name), select 'Content', and the ISOs are there...
One more again, I try to Create VM, and when select the local storage, now the ISOs are listed...
Try that...

you just need to add the content typ "ISO" to your local storage.

See "Datacenter/Storage/local"
 
Old thread, but maybe someone come across ist like me. This solved my problem:

I still had the ISO-file in use by a previous installation. After ejecting it (VM --> Hardware --> CD/DVD), it showed up again.
 
/var/lib/pve/local-btrfs/template/iso
что-бы проверить файлы можно следующей командой
du -h | sort -h
