Bare Metal Installer

Introduction

A good way for beginners and a fast way to install OpenVZ to a new server is the Proxmox VE bare-metal ISO installer.

Another bare-metal (based on RHEL/CentOS) installer is OpenNode.

Features

Proxmox VE installs the complete operating system and management tools in 3 to 5 minutes (depends on the used hardware).

"Bare-metal" means that you start from a empty server - there is no need to install a base operation system.

Including the following:

• Complete operating system (Debian Lenny 64)
• Partition the hard drive with LVM2, optimized for vzdump
• Backup/Restore tools - GUI for vzdump
• Proxmox VE Kernel with OpenVZ and KVM support
• Web based management interface
• Integrated virtual appliance download
• Configuration Cluster

Please note, the complete server is used and all existing data is removed.
