ProxMenux provides automated scripts that create and configure virtual machines for various NAS systems on
Proxmox VE. This documentation covers the VM creation process for TrueNAS SCALE, TrueNAS CORE,
OpenMediaVault, and Rockstor.

<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold mb-4 text-black">Script Overview</h2>
<p className="mb-4">
The VM creation script for NAS systems automates the process of setting up virtual machines optimized for
running various Network Attached Storage solutions. The script handles all aspects of VM configuration,
including hardware allocation, disk setup, and boot options.
</p>
<p className="mb-4">The script simplifies the VM creation process by offering the following options:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li>Selection of default or advanced configuration</li>
<li>Configuration of CPU, RAM, BIOS, and machine type</li>
<li>Choice between virtual disk or physical disk passthrough</li>
<li>Selection of disk interface type (SCSI, SATA, VirtIO, or IDE)</li>
<li>Automatic configuration of EFI and TPM when required</li>
<li>Automatic mounting of installation ISO images</li>
</ul>
<div className="mt-8">
<h3 className="text-xl font-semibold mb-3 flex items-center">
<Settings className="h-5 w-5 mr-2 text-blue-500" />
Default and Advanced Configuration

Disk Selection
</h3>
<p className="mb-3">
Once the machine is configured, the script allows you to choose between two types of disks:
</p>
<h4 className="text-lg font-medium mt-4 mb-2">Virtual Disk</h4>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li>The script lists the storage options available in Proxmox</li>
<li>The user selects the disk and size in GB</li>
<li>
The virtual disk is automatically assigned to the VM using the selected interface type (SCSI, SATA,
VirtIO, or IDE)
</li>
<li>
Multiple disks can be added and will be assigned sequential device numbers (e.g., scsi0, scsi1, etc.)
</li>
</ul>
<h4 className="text-lg font-medium mt-4 mb-2">Physical Disk Passthrough</h4>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li>The script detects all available physical disks</li>
<li>The user selects the physical disk or disks they want to use</li>
<li>
The physical disk is directly assigned to the VM via passthrough using the selected interface type (SCSI,
SATA, VirtIO, or IDE)
</li>
<li>
Multiple disks can be added and will be assigned sequential device numbers (e.g., scsi0, scsi1, etc.)

Additional Features
</h3>
<h4 className="text-lg font-medium mt-4 mb-2">EFI Disk Configuration</h4>
<p className="mb-3">When UEFI BIOS (OVMF) is selected, the script automatically configures an EFI disk:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li>The script prompts for storage location for the EFI disk</li>
<li>A 4MB EFI disk is created and configured</li>
<li>
The EFI disk is properly formatted based on the storage type (raw format for directory-based storage)
</li>
</ul>
<h4 className="text-lg font-medium mt-4 mb-2">ISO Mounting</h4>
<p className="mb-3">The script handles ISO mounting for installation:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li>The installation ISO is automatically mounted to the ide2 device</li>
<li>For Windows VMs, VirtIO driver ISO can be automatically downloaded and mounted to ide3</li>
</ul>
<h4 className="text-lg font-medium mt-4 mb-2">QEMU Guest Agent</h4>
<p className="mb-3">The script automatically configures QEMU Guest Agent support:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-5 mb-4">
<li>Enables the QEMU Guest Agent in the VM configuration</li>
<li>Sets up the necessary communication channel</li>
<li>Provides instructions for installing the guest agent inside the VM after installation</li>
