As a general rule just about any hardware will suffice as a Standalone test machines or as a host for a virtual environment.

 +
 +
For sme10 a minimum of 4gb of RAM is recommended, you can try with less but may have issues when testing under load, eg backup and restores of large file sets.
 +
 +
== Install ISO for Testing or Bug Verification==
 +
Its simple for those who do this regularly, it can be a bloody mine pit for someone who doesn't 🙂 very easy to kill a test system and no way to get out but wipe and start again, please don't be put off, if nothing else it sure educates you on the blackmagic in koozali/sme
 +
 +
{{Warning box|Be aware you should never perform a full yum update with the /smetest and/or /smedev repos enabled it will almost certainly put your server in a state that may not be recoverable from..}}
 +
 +
1. Install current iso that is available from the Koozali webssite - [[SME Server:Download|Downloads]]
 +
 +
2. Once installed, use SSH, SSH access must be enabled with the /server-manager, set remote access to allow, from the cli run a # yum update (DO NOT enable any repos) there can be many mb of updates depending on age of iso, on occasion ie very very rarely smeserver-yum may also need updating first, it may be in smeupdates-testing or updates, so a heads up a quick look under the hood can save a world of grief, [http://mirror.canada.pialasse.com/releases/testing/10/ Koozali Repository] eg
 +
# yum update smeserver-yum --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing
 +
 +
3. Make sure to reboot/reconfig
 +
# signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
 +
 +
4. Best practice is to select a Bug that need verifying, See [[Dashboard|the Dashboard]] in the wiki, update the package with the updated rpm listed in the Bug 
 +
# yum update e-smith-base --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing (ONLY this)
 +
 +
5. Now for the fly in the ointment - sometimes, rarely, there will be a package in /smetest that fixes a borked update in smeupdates-testing, that situation can arise with any update, these will appear in smeupdates-testing eventually, it is alwways a good idea to check in /smetest for a later version of a package.
 +
 +
6. If you issue the following 
 +
# yum update --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing
 +
you will update ALL the packages that have been updated or added and need testing, every new/modified rpm - a danger Will Robinson moment if there ever was one - this not recommended but can be useful to carry out overall testing of the system or Contrib updates/import testing and verification BUT beware you could also kill your test box VM 🙂
 +
 +
=== Contribs Testing ===
 +
For testing of contribs a simple install and yum update should be sufficient to prepare the test environment, however it may also be necessary to also include a yum update from /smeupdates-testing as well, this will become apparent when attempting an install of an updated contrib.
 +
 +
Contribs for testing will usually be found in the /smedev /smetest repos, all will have a Bug to track the update.
 +
 +
https://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11272
 +
 +
yum install smeserver-nfs --enablerepo=smetest,smeupdates-testing 
 +
 +
*** Warning only install an updated contrib with a specific command referencing the /smedev and /smetest repos, NEVER just do a yum update --enablerepo=smedev,smetest this will most certainly render your system akin to a dead parrot.
 +
 +
Those contribs found in the /smetest repo will generally be able to be installed and tested for functionality, report all findings in associated Bug.  Those contribs in /smedev may still have a degree of instability and may install but not run, again all results to relevant bug.
 +
 +
Any contrib that has been moved to the sme10 contribs repo should be fully functional, again there will be a Bug that may still be open to track any issues, use it.

  Create a new Virtual Machine, choose 'Linux' as the type, 'Other Linux (64-bit)' as the version and set the memory to at least 1GB, ideally 2GB+ as ClamAV on its own needs ~1GB.

Install/configure Koozali SME9/10 VM on proxmox VE
+
Install Proxmox #.# to suitable hardware - see proxmox wiki for details of setup
 +
 
 +
Start Proxmox, login as root, before creating a new VM there needs to be a relevant iso image available from pve storage to act as a install CD/DVD, this and other OS isos needs to be uploaded to pve local storage
 +
 
 +

Memory - minimum for sme10, 1024mb will operate sluggishly, 2048mb preferred minimum, 4096mb ideal

We will use the '''vmbr0''' that is set up, but we need to create a dummy one so we can put SME in server/gateway mode and use Daniels scripts:
 +
* Create a new network interface and call it '''vmbr1'''
 +
* Do NOT set IP address/subnet/bridge ports etc.
 +
* Create your KVM for SME. Make sure that you give it two network adaptors - one is '''vmbr0''' and one is '''vmbr1'''
 +
** vmbr0 should have the following settings :
 +
::Model: virtio
 +
::MAC: 10:10:00:00:20:20 (as per your mac that you set)
 +
*After you have created the KVM add a second adaptor:
 +
**vmbr1 should have the following settings:
 +
::Model: virtio
 +
::MAC: should be the MAC of your main IP address
 +
 
 +
It doesn't matter which one is 0 or 1 as long as the settings are correct.
