### Step 11.6 — Add raw data drives to VM 100 via CLI ### Step 11.6 — Enable nested virtualization on the Proxmox host
VM 100 will run a nested Windows VM (VirtualBox) for Sync.com. This requires
exposing hardware virtualization extensions to the guest. Run on the
**Proxmox host**:
```bash
# Check current state — Y = already enabled, N = needs enabling
cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
# Enable nested virt persistently
echo "options kvm-intel nested=Y" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf
# Reload the module (or reboot — reboot is safer)
modprobe -r kvm_intel && modprobe kvm_intel
# Verify
cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested # should print Y
```
> **VM 100 must have CPU type set to `host`** (already configured in Step 11.3).
> Without `host`, the VM does not see the VT-x extensions and VirtualBox inside
> it will run in slow emulation mode or fail to start 64-bit guests.
Verify inside VM 100 after it boots:
```bash
# Should show vmx flag — confirms VT-x is visible to the guest
grep -m1 vmx /proc/cpuinfo
```

### Step 11.7 — Find drive IDs on the Proxmox host
> **Do not use `lsusb`** — that lists USB devices only. HDDs connected via the
> PERC H730 in JBOD mode appear as regular block devices.
SSH into the Proxmox host and run:
```bash
# See all drives with model, size, and device path
lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,MODEL,SERIAL,TYPE | grep disk
# Get stable by-id paths (use these — not /dev/sdX which can change on reboot)
ls -la /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep -v part | grep -v wwn
```
Example output:
```
scsi-35000cca23b7d4eb8 -> ../../sdb # Bay 1 — HGST 4TB
scsi-35000cca23b5e1234 -> ../../sdc # Bay 2 — HGST 4TB
scsi-35000cca23bab5678 -> ../../sdd # Bay 3 — HGST 4TB
...
```
> Use the `scsi-3...` or `ata-...` names — these are stable and tied to the
> drive's serial number. `/dev/sdb` can shift if drives are added or removed.

### Step 11.8 — Create VM 102 (storage/utility, no GPU) ### Step 11.10 — Create VM 102 (Windows 11, Sync.com)
VM 102 is a Windows 11 VM that runs the Sync.com desktop client for cloud
backup. Syncthing on VM 100 mirrors NAS data to VM 102's local NTFS drive,
and Sync.com picks it up natively.

Click **Finish**.
Then pass a dedicated data drive to VM 102 for Sync.com to sync to:
```bash ```bash
qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/PLACEHOLDER_BAY11 # Use one of your spare HDDs — Sync.com data lives here (formatted NTFS in Windows)
qm set 102 -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/PLACEHOLDER_BAY12 qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/PLACEHOLDER_SYNC_DRIVE
``` ```
> **Why a dedicated drive?** Sync.com needs a real local NTFS disk — not a
> network share, not a shared folder. Windows formats this drive NTFS and
> Sync.com treats it as a native local drive. Syncthing on VM 100 pushes
> data to it over the LAN.

**VM 102 (Server):** Repeat steps 11.9–11.10. Use `vm102` as the hostname. ```bash
ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.XXX
During the storage step in each VM: install Ubuntu only on the small OS disk. # Uncomment WaylandEnable=false in GDM config
Leave the large data drives untouched — they are for you to configure later. sudo sed -i 's/#WaylandEnable=false/WaylandEnable=false/' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
# Verify the line is now active (should print: WaylandEnable=false)
grep WaylandEnable /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
# Restart the display manager to apply
sudo systemctl restart gdm3
```
After GDM restarts, log back in. Verify Xorg is active:
```bash
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE # should print: x11

### Step 11.14 — Install Ubuntu in VM 101
Start VM 101, open the console, and work through the Ubuntu Desktop installer.
Use `vm101` as the hostname. When prompted for storage, install only to the
64 GiB OS disk — leave the data drives untouched.
After first login, disable Wayland on VM 101 as well (same command as Step 11.13):
```bash
sudo sed -i 's/#WaylandEnable=false/WaylandEnable=false/' /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
sudo systemctl restart gdm3
```
**VM 102 (Windows 11):** Boot from the Windows 11 ISO, work through the
installer. Use `windows-sync` as the hostname. Install to the 128 GiB OS disk.
After install, format the dedicated Sync.com data drive as NTFS in Disk
Management, then install the Sync.com desktop client and point it at that drive.
