This article picks up where the networking and storage setup left off. The Proxmox host (pve01.lab.example.com) is running with two VLAN-aware bridges, a ZFS mirror pool (vmpool), and shared ASM zvols already created. We now create all ten VMs using the qm CLI, configure shared storage for RAC, and verify each group before installing Oracle software. 1.

This article covers the host-level setup of a purpose-built AMD EPYC 9124 tower server for Oracle workload virtualisation using Proxmox VE 9.1. The hardware was purchased with BIOS pre-configured for IOMMU, SR-IOV, and Global C-States. Before creating a single VM, the network bridges, VLANs, and ZFS storage pools must be correct — mistakes here cascade into every VM that follows. 1.
