Proxmox Configuration🔗

1. Copy vNetC and SDLC vma files to host:

  • Copy the the virtual machines (VMs) files to your Proxmox host. These are:
  • vzdump-qemu-vnc-x.x.x.x.vma.zst: This is the backup for the vNetC VM.
  • vzdump-qemu-SDLC_x.x.x.x.vma.zst: This is the backup for the SDLC VM.

2. List VMIDs in Use:

In Proxmox, each VM has a unique identifier called a VMID. To view the full list of VMIDs currently in use on your Proxmox server, run the following command:

qm list

3. Add the VMs and Assign Each an Unused VMID

After checking which VMIDs are already in use, select an unused VMID for each VM. Use the qmrestore command to restore the backups. For example:

  • For vnetc, if VMID 110 is free, you restore it with: qmrestore vzdump-qemu-vnc-6.3.0.3509.vma.zst 110

  • For SDLC, if VMID 111 is free, you restore it with: qmrestore vzdump-qemu-SDLC_6.3.0.1.D20.vma.zst 111

4. Edit the CPU, RAM, and Network for each VM:

Configure the resources for each VM via the Proxmox GUI (web interface).

  • CPU & RAM: Set the correct number of CPUs and amount of RAM.

  • Network Configuration:

    • vNetC: For vNetC, configure the first network adapter (net0) to ensure it is connected to the correct bridge and has the correct VLAN Tag (if using VLAN trunking).
    • SDLC: For SDLC, configure the second network adapter (net1) similarly, ensuring it connects to the correct bridge with the correct VLAN Tag.

5. Start the VMs:

After configuring the VMs, start them from the Proxmox GUI: - Find the vnetc VM and click on "Start". - Find the SDLC VM and click on "Start".

6. Continue Setup Process for vNetC and SDLC from Referenced Document(s):

After starting the VMs, follow the remaining instructions in the separate document(s) (linked below) to complete the setup for the vNetC and SDLC systems.

Key Steps Simplified:

  • Copy files to your Proxmox host.

  • List VMIDs to find available IDs.

  • Restore VMs using qmrestore with available VMIDs.

  • Edit CPU, RAM, and network settings for each VM.

  • Start both VMs.

  • Continue setup from the provided documentation.
