Deploying a ProxmoxVE Cluster
Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open source server virtualization management solution based on QEMU/KVM and LXC. You can manage virtual machines, containers, highly available clusters, storage and networks with an integrated, easy-to-use web interface or via CLI.
!!! note This document assumes you have a storage server that hosts both ISO files via CIFS/SMB share, and has the ability to set up an iSCSI LUN (VM & Container storage). This document assumes that you are using a TrueNAS Core server to host both of these services.

You will need to download the Proxmox VE 8.1 ISO Installer from the Official Proxmox Website. Once it is downloaded, you can use Balena Etcher or Rufus to deploy Proxmox onto a server.
!!! note
If you are virtualizing Proxmox under a Hyper-V environment, you will want to follow the Official Documentation to ensure that nested virtualization is enabled. An example is listed below:
powershell Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true Get-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName <VMName> | Set-VMNetworkAdapter -MacAddressSpoofing On
