At this point in time, your physical drives that you wish to use with Greyhole should be inside the Proxmox node and connected. If they are not, please shut down the system, connect the drives, boot it up and then ensure your Amahi VM is shutdown once more. <br />Now use any method you wish to get terminal access to your Proxmox node: either with the 'Console' button in the web GUI, or your favourite SSH client to SSH the Proxmox node.</li>
<li>
(This step is where you finally point the physical drive to the VM, through the Proxmox console.<br />This command will add)a SATA "abstracted" device to VM101:{{Code|Code= qm set vm101 -sata01 /dev/sdb}}<ul><li>vm101 is the ID of the virtual machine to which you want to point the drive.</li><li>sata01 identifies the drive once mounted, as sata01 and the protocol for it; This can also be 'ide##'</li><li>/dev/sdb is the installed <strong>but not mounted in Proxmox</strong> drive in the proxmox machine.</li> </ul>Once you boot the KVM you add this drive by manually, permanently mounting it to the VM. This could be via editing the /etc/fstab within the VM or using any other drive mounting tool/method you wish. You should reference the Amahi drive-adding wiki article at this point to ensure the drive is added appropriately: <br />[https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA Adding a Second Drive to your HDA] <br />For each physical drive you add, you can decide to pool it to Greyhole or not. It helps to understand some commands for managing drives and volumes and partitions in Linux before doing too much moving around.</li></ol><h4>NOTE: Greyhole drives or drive images can be added to a newly installed Amahi VM and if mapped identically as before, they should function fine once the {{Code|Code= greyhole -f}} command has run through a couple times. <br />Do reference [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Post-Install_Hardware_Changes Post Install Hardware Changes] for swapping hardware, which is similar to changing from a physical to virtual setup.</h4>
