Just made guide "Step-by-Step Guide: Installing Aruba ClearPass 6.12 on Proxmox VE 8.3.4" see attached.

but note: Note: ClearPass Installation on Proxmox VE is not supported officially, so this guide is only for lab purposes.

thats great, thanks for sharing.

Great!

In the past I have tried to install 6.11 on Proxmox and it crashed my whole machine so I hope with this guide 6.12 will work fine and no more crash.

Hi, one small question, I'm trying to follow the tutorial and I just notice the version of proxmox, I'm currently using the 8.3.5, and I just have the local storage and can do the last steps in the part about the disk, do you know what can I do in this case?, 

I'm guessing you meant "can't".  What last part can't you complete?

Great guide! 

I installed it on Proxmox, 3 months ago, by trial and error. Was planning to write a guide on it but you beat me to it :)

If using Proxmox with ZFS, you will need to replace step 8, substep 1 and 2 with:

Identify the zvol for the ClearPass VM

SSH into Proxmox and run: ls -l /dev/zvol/rpool/data

The output will look something like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 26 17:10 vm-100-disk-0 -> ../../../zd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 26 17:13 vm-100-disk-1 -> ../../../zd16
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:55 vm-100-disk-1-part1 -> ../../../zd16p1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:55 vm-100-disk-1-part2 -> ../../../zd16p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:55 vm-100-disk-1-part3 -> ../../../zd16p3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:55 vm-100-disk-1-part4 -> ../../../zd16p4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 28 13:53 vm-101-disk-0 -> ../../../zd32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:56 vm-101-disk-0-part1 -> ../../../zd32p1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:56 vm-101-disk-0-part2 -> ../../../zd32p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:56 vm-101-disk-0-part3 -> ../../../zd32p3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 29 16:56 vm-101-disk-0-part4 -> ../../../zd32p4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 May 28 13:53 vm-101-disk-1 -> ../../../zd48

My ClearPass VM id is 101, so vm-101-disk0 maps to /dev/zd32

With that, my dd command will be something like this:

dd if=/var/lib/vz/template/iso/home/jenkins/KVMImage/CPPM-VM-x86_64-6.12.0.300732-KVM.raw of=/dev/zd32
