Proxmox Virtual Environment

Each imported Proxmox node becomes a CMP environment. CMP builds a server by cloning a Proxmox VM template, then sets its CPUs, memory, and disk size.

Before you begin

• Proxmox Virtual Environment is disabled by default. If its tile is missing from the technology picker, enable the resource handler.
• A Proxmox account that logs in with a username and password, in the Linux PAM or Proxmox VE realm. The account must not require two-factor authentication.
• Network access from CMP to the Proxmox API, which listens on HTTPS port 8006 by default.

Add a Proxmox resource handler

1. Go to Admin > Resource Handlers, select Add, then select Proxmox Virtual Environment.

2. Complete the credentials fields described below, then select Continue. CMP checks the connection before moving on.

3. Enter a Name, and optionally a Description and VM Names to Ignore, then select Done.

Import nodes

A new handler has no environments until you import a node. CMP creates one environment for each selected node.

1. On the handler, open the Nodes tab and select Import nodes.
2. Select nodes, then select Import selected nodes.

To add another environment for an imported node, select the plus icon beside it and select Create. To remove a node from CMP, delete its associated environments.

Import templates

An environment cannot provision until a template is imported and linked to it. CMP imports Proxmox VM templates.

1. On the handler, open the Templates tab and select Import templates.
2. Select templates, then select Import selected templates.
3. In the OS Build Environments column, select the edit icon for a template, choose the environments that may use it, then select Save changes.

The Nodes and Templates tabs display a warning icon until at least one node is imported and at least one template is linked to an environment.

Sync and manage servers

To bring existing Proxmox virtual machines into CMP, open the handler’s Servers tab and select Sync VMs from followed by the handler’s name. The Dry-run Sync VMs from button beside it previews the sync without making any changes.

From CMP, you can power Proxmox servers on and off, reboot them, and delete them.

Proxmox parameters

CMP creates these parameters when the first Proxmox handler is saved. Storage and Resource Pool options are imported from the node when you create an environment.

CMP sets Proxmox Node in each environment when you import the node.
