<p>NOTE: This is a helpful exercise to get familiar with the ProxMox VE user interface and terminology&nbsp;but is not recommended for production use.&nbsp;</p>
<ol>
<li>Download the Proxmox VE .iso file <a href="https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads" target="_blank">Download</a></li>
<li>Launch Virtualbox</li>
<li>Create a New VM by selecting Machine &gt; New
<p>Name: ProxMox VE<br />
Machine Folder: C:\VMs<br />
Type: Linux<br />
Version: Debian (64-bit)<br />
Memory Size: 8192 MB<br />
Hard disk: Create a virtual hard disk now</p>
</li>
<li>Click Create</li>
<li>On the Create Virtual Hard Disk dialog
<p>Name the virtual disk image ProxMox VE.vdi<br />
File size: 16 GB<br />
Hard disk file type: VDI<br />
Storage on physical hard disk: Dynamically Allocated</p>
</li>
<li>Click Create</li>
<li>Select the VM and Click Settings</li>
<li>Select System &gt; Processor</li>
<li>Give the VM at least 2 processors</li>
<li>Check the Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V</li>
<li>Select Display</li>
<li>Slide the Video Memory to 128 MB</li>
<li>Select Network</li>
<li>Set the attached to dropdown to Bridged Adapter</li>
<li>Select Storage</li>
<li>Click on the CD-ROM drive</li>
<li>Select the disc dropdown to the right &gt; Choose a virtual optical disc file...</li>
<li>Browse to and select the downloaded ProxMox VE&nbsp;.iso file</li>
<li>Click OK</li>
<li>Select the hard disk dropdown to the right</li>
<li>Click the Create button at the top</li>
<li>Change the size to 500 GB &gt; Click Create</li>
<li>Click OK to accept the settings</li>
<li>Make sure the ProxMox VE&nbsp;VM is selected and click Start &gt; Normal</li>
<li>Select Install Proxmox VE and press Enter</li>
<li>Click the I agree button to accept the EULA</li>
<li>Select the appropriate Target Harddisk from the dropdown &gt; Click Next</li>
<li>Set the Country, Time zone and Keyboard Layout &gt; Click Next</li>
<li>Enter a password and confirm, Enter an email address &gt; Click Next</li>
<li>Give the Proxmox device a hostname, confirm the network settings &gt; Click Next</li>
<li>Click the Install button</li>
<li>Wait for Proxmox to be installed and configured</li>
<li>After the installation succeeds, take note of the IP address and port</li>
<li>Select Devices &gt;&nbsp;Optical Drives &gt; Remove disk from virtual drive&nbsp;</li>
<li>Click the Reboot button</li>
<li>After the VM reboots, open a web browser on the host machine and navigate to&nbsp;https://DNSorIP:8006</li>
<li>Login with the username root and the password set during the installation</li>
<li>Welcome to ProxMox VE inside VirtualBox</li>
</ol>
<h2>Setting Up Additional VM Storage</h2>
<ol>
<li>Click the Shell button in the ProxMox VE web interface</li>
<li>Enter the following commands to initialize the new disk
<div class="codeBlock"># locate the device name&nbsp;for the new hard disk<br />
fdisk -l<br />
# sdb is the 500 GB .vdi created earlier, replace sdb if your hard disk has a different identifier<br />
cfdisk /dev/sdb</div>
</li>
<li>Arrow over to New &gt; Press Enter</li>
<li>Press Enter to accept the default partition size</li>
<li>Press Enter to select Primary</li>
