PBS on Azure VM

[mario0018]

Hi,
I want to install PBS on a Azure VM (Debian). For that i provisioned a b2s sized vm + extra data disk.
This environment is connected via site-to-site vpn connection and private, not internet exposed.
This is for a test-environment or POC.

So i followed the instructions discribed in proxmox wiki.

There are two ways of installation:
- only minimal nessessary packets on debian
- pbs kernel, like iso.

Unforunally both ends with the same result, the vm boots successfull, but is not accessable anymore (not even ping).
I think it is a network problem with the dhcp from azure.

Has anybody done that before and can give me any advice?



Thanks.
Mario

Does the Debian install work after a reboot before installing PBS repo and packages?

Hello.
I used the Serial console to solve this problem.
Haven't found a complete solution yet, what came up
I put the machine name in /etc/hosts.
And if manually run

dhclient

VM gets the IP

Hi,
this workaround help to get back network and remote access to the vm. Unforunally the pbs service himself does not start.
And you have to repeat that procedure after every restart.
If someone reads it i and want to use it - remember to set the root password before the vm is inaccessible. With the serial console you cant use public key.

To achive my POC I´ve done the following quick&dirty:
- Build in on-prem Proxmox VE a PBS-VM based on the iso
- add an eth0 interface with dhcp
- enabled serial console
- do some azure-modification Azure learn
- export it to vhd and upload to storage account
- import as an image
- build a vm based on that image
