It works in two ways: - -* An ISO image file ready to burn to a CD or DVD. - -* A raw sector (IMG) image file ready to copy to a USB flash drive (USB stick). - -Using a USB flash drive to install {pve} is the recommended way because it is -the faster option. - -Prepare a USB Flash Drive as Installation Medium -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -The flash drive needs to have at least 1 GB of storage available. - -NOTE: Do not use UNetbootin. It does not work with the {pve} installation image. - -IMPORTANT: Make sure that the USB flash drive is not mounted and does not -contain any important data. - - -Instructions for GNU/Linux -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -On Unix-like operating system use the `dd` command to copy the ISO image to the -USB flash drive. First find the correct device name of the USB flash drive (see -below). Then run the `dd` command. - ----- -# dd bs=1M conv=fdatasync if=./proxmox-ve_*.iso of=/dev/XYZ ----- - -NOTE: Be sure to replace /dev/XYZ with the correct device name and adapt the -input filename ('if') path. - -CAUTION: Be very careful, and do not overwrite the wrong disk! - - -Find the Correct USB Device Name -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -There are two ways to find out the name of the USB flash drive. The first one is -to compare the last lines of the `dmesg` command output before and after -plugging in the flash drive. The second way is to compare the output of the -`lsblk` command. Open a terminal and run: - ----- -# lsblk ----- - -Then plug in your USB flash drive and run the command again: - ----- -# lsblk ----- - -A new device will appear. This is the one you want to use. To be on the extra -safe side check if the reported size matches your USB flash drive. - - -Instructions for macOS -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Open the terminal (query Terminal in Spotlight). - -Convert the `.iso` file to `.dmg` format using the convert option of `hdiutil`, -for example: - ----- -# hdiutil convert proxmox-ve_*.iso -format UDRW -o proxmox-ve_*.dmg ----- - -TIP: macOS tends to automatically add '.dmg' to the output file name. - -To get the current list of devices run the command: - ----- -# diskutil list ----- - -Now insert the USB flash drive and run this command again to determine which -device node has been assigned to it. (e.g., /dev/diskX). - ----- -# diskutil list -# diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX ----- - -NOTE: replace X with the disk number from the last command. - ----- -# sudo dd if=proxmox-ve_*.dmg bs=1M of=/dev/rdiskX ----- - -NOTE: 'rdiskX', instead of 'diskX', in the last command is intended. It will -increase the write speed. - -Instructions for Windows -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Using Etcher -^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Etcher works out of the box. Download Etcher from https://etcher.io. It will -guide you through the process of selecting the ISO and your USB flash drive. - -Using Rufus -^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Rufus is a more lightweight alternative, but you need to use the *DD mode* to -make it work. Download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/. Either install it or use -the portable version. Select the destination drive and the {pve} ISO file. - -IMPORTANT: Once you 'Start' you have to click 'No' on the dialog asking to -download a different version of GRUB. In the next dialog select the 'DD' mode. - -ifdef::wiki[] -Boot your Server from the USB Flash Drive -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Connect the USB flash drive to your server and make sure that booting from USB -is enabled (check your servers firmware settings).
