This guide will walk you through the process of setting up disk passthrough to a virtual machine in Proxmox VE
using ProxMenux.
This script automates the process of setting up disk passthrough to a virtual machine (VM) in Proxmox VE. Disk
passthrough allows a VM to have direct access to a physical disk or partition, which can be useful for certain
applications that require low-level disk access or for maximizing storage performance.
</p>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mt-8 mb-4">What Does This Script Do?</h2>
<p className="mb-4">When executed, this script performs the following actions:</p>
<ol className="list-decimal pl-6 space-y-2 mb-6">
<li>Lists available disks on the Proxmox host</li>
<li>Allows you to select a disk for passthrough</li>
<li>Lists available VMs</li>
<li>Allows you to select a VM to receive the disk passthrough</li>
<li>Configures the selected disk for passthrough</li>
<li>Adds the disk to the chosen VM's configuration</li>
</ol>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mt-8 mb-4">Key Steps</h2>
<Steps>
<Steps.Step title="Disk Selection">
<p>
The script will display a list of available disks on your Proxmox host. You'll be prompted to select the
disk you want to pass through to a VM.
</p>
</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="VM Selection">
<p>
After selecting a disk, you'll be presented with a list of available VMs. Choose the VM that should receive
the passed-through disk.
</p>
</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="Disk Configuration">
<p>The script will configure the selected disk for passthrough. This involves:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-1 mt-2">
<li>Unmounting the disk if it's currently mounted</li>
<li>Removing any existing partitions or logical volumes</li>
<li>Clearing the partition table</li>
</ul>
</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="VM Configuration">
<p>The script will modify the chosen VM's configuration to include the passed-through disk. This includes:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-1 mt-2">
<li>Adding the disk to the VM's configuration file</li>
<li>Setting up the appropriate SCSI controller if necessary</li>
</ul>
</Steps.Step>
</Steps>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mt-8 mb-4">What to Expect</h2>
<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2 mb-6">
<li>The script will guide you through the process with clear prompts.</li>
<li>You'll need to make selections for both the disk and the target VM.</li>
<li>The process is typically quick, but it may take a few moments to configure larger disks.</li>
<li>After completion, the selected disk will be available to the chosen VM as a raw device.</li>
<li>You may need to restart the VM to recognize the new disk.</li>
</ul>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mt-8 mb-4">Important Notes</h2>
<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2 mb-6">
<li>Disk passthrough gives the VM direct access to the physical disk. Use this feature with caution.</li>
<li>
All data on the selected disk will be erased during the process. Make sure to backup any important data before
proceeding.
</li>
<li>
The disk will be exclusively used by the selected VM and will not be available to the host or other VMs.
</li>
<li>Ensure that the VM is shut down before running this script to avoid potential data corruption.</li>
<li>Some features like live migration may be limited or unavailable for VMs with passed-through disks.</li>
<li>This script requires root or sudo privileges to execute.</li>
</ul>
<p className="mt-6 italic">
This script simplifies the process of setting up disk passthrough in Proxmox VE, allowing you to easily assign
physical disks to specific VMs. This can be particularly useful for applications that require direct disk access
or for maximizing storage performance in certain scenarios.

This guide will walk you through the process of importing a disk image to a virtual machine in Proxmox VE using
ProxMenux.
This script automates the process of importing disk images into Proxmox VE virtual machines (VMs). It simplifies
the task of attaching pre-existing disk files to VMs without requiring manual configuration.
</p>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mt-8 mb-4">What Does This Script Do?</h2>
<p className="mb-4">When executed, this script performs the following actions:</p>
<ol className="list-decimal pl-6 space-y-2 mb-6">

</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="Image Selection">
<p>
Choose one or more disk images to import from the list of compatible images found in the specified
directory.
</p>
</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="Configuration">
<p>For each selected image:</p>
<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-1 mt-2">
<li>Choose the interface type (SATA, SCSI, VirtIO, or IDE)</li>
<li>Optionally enable SSD emulation (for non-VirtIO interfaces)</li>
<li>Decide whether to make the disk bootable</li>
</ul>
</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="Import Process">
<p>The script will import each selected disk image, showing real-time progress updates.</p>
</Steps.Step>
<Steps.Step title="Finalization">
<p>After import, the script configures the disks in the VM and applies the chosen settings.</p>

<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2 mb-6">
<li>The script will guide you through the process with clear prompts and menus.</li>
<li>You'll need to make selections for the target VM, storage, disk images, and configuration options.</li>
<li>The import process may take some time, depending on the size and number of disk images.</li>
<li>Real-time progress updates will be displayed during the import process.</li>
<li>After completion, the imported disks will be available and configured in the selected VM.</li>
</ul>
<h2 className="text-2xl font-semibold mt-8 mb-4">Important Notes</h2>
<ul className="list-disc pl-6 space-y-2 mb-6">
<li>Ensure you have sufficient storage space in the selected Proxmox storage volume before importing.</li>
<li>The script supports .img, .qcow2, and .vmdk disk image formats.</li>
<li>Make sure the VM is powered off before importing disk images to avoid potential conflicts.</li>
<li>
Importing a disk as bootable will modify the VM's boot order. Adjust the boot order in the VM settings if
necessary.

<li>SSD emulation is only available for non-VirtIO interfaces (SATA, SCSI, IDE).</li>
<li>This script requires root or sudo privileges to execute.</li>

This script simplifies the process of importing disk images to VMs in Proxmox VE, making it easy to add
pre-existing disks or migrate disks from other environments. It handles the technical details of import and
configuration, allowing you to quickly add new storage to your VMs.
