Proxmox VE/IBM-306m

Installing PVE 5.2 on ibm 306m

Install Debian squeeze
use lvm
disable X desktop, print
enable ssh + "standard"

if you forgot to deselect X desktop during install, then disable gdm, this is best done by: systemctl set-default multi-user.target

enable non-free package source:

add-apt-repository non-free

update the packages

 apt-get update

Install a few management packages:

 apt-get install sudo snmpd snmp-mibs-downloader

Make it so that snmpd listens on all interfaces (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf)
