Create Virtual Machines2026/04/14

 

Create a virtual machine on the Proxmox system.

We assume that the installation image for the OS you want to install on the virtual machine has already been added to the datastore.

[1] Log in to the Proxmox VE management console, right-click the [Hostname] in the left pane, and select [Create VM] from the menu.
[2] For the [Node] field, specify the node where you created the virtual machine if you are using a cluster configuration. For the [VM ID] field, specify an arbitrary ID number. For the [Name] field, enter the name of the virtual machine.
[3] Specify the type of OS to install on the virtual machine and the ISO image to use for installation.
[4] These are the system settings. You can change them as needed. In this example, we will proceed with the default settings.
[5] This is the disk configuration for the virtual machine. At a minimum, you should change the disk capacity as needed.
[6] This setting controls the number of CPUs in the virtual machine. You can change it as needed.
[7] This is the setting for the virtual machine's memory capacity. You can change it as needed.
[8] These are the network settings for the virtual machine. You can change them as needed.
[9] This is a confirmation of the settings you have configured so far. If everything is correct, click the [Finish] button.
[10] Once the virtual machine is created, it will appear under the hostname in the left pane.
To power on the virtual machine, click the [Start] button at the top.
To connect to the virtual machine's console, click the [Console] button at the top.
[11] When you connect to the virtual machine's console, a new window will open.
After connecting to the console, operation is the same as usual.
[12] After creating a virtual machine, check that it's working correctly, including network connectivity.
