(Note: PC client must be upgraded to v2.1.11; OS firmware must be upgraded to v2.1.4.0005)
(1) Open the application and click on "Virtual Machine". Manual installation of the application is required for first-time use.
(2) Click "Install App", and the application will automatically download and install.
(3) Once the download and installation are complete, open this interface to proceed with creating the required virtual machine.
(1) The system currently includes four commonly used images: Windows 11 (desktop system), TrueNAS (third-party NAS OS), Ubuntu 24, and Debian 12 (Linux distributions). These images can be downloaded with one click via the application's "Offline Download" feature. Click the "Create" button for the corresponding image, and the system will automatically complete the full download of the image file and required drivers.
(2) Manually enable bridge mode: System Settings → Network Management → Enable Bridge.
(1) After downloading the image and drivers, click the "Create" button to enter the virtual machine configuration interface. You can customize various parameters according to your actual needs. Special reminder: A VNC remote connection password must be set here (for secure access to the virtual machine later).
(2) After configuring and saving the virtual machine parameters, you can check its running status in the virtual machine management interface. This interface provides complete lifecycle management functions, including core operations such as parameter editing, starting, restarting services, and deleting instances.
(3) Click "Operation → Start", then click "Operation → VNC" to connect to the virtual machine.
(1) After opening the VNC connection interface, enter the password you just set to connect.
(2) After correct configuration, when starting up and connecting via VNC, press any key on the keyboard.
(3) After clicking "Reset", when "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" appears, press any key on the keyboard to proceed normally into the installation process. This prompt generally only stays for a few seconds.
(4) Once the following page appears, you can proceed to install Windows 11.
(5) At the step "Choose where to install Windows 11", if a VirtIO-type disk is selected, drivers need to be installed to recognize the virtual hard disk hardware. First, confirm that the driver ISO file is mounted to the virtual machine, then click "Load Driver".
(6) Click "Browse", select the "amd64/win11" directory in the CD drive, and click "OK".
(7) Click to select "Red Hat VirtIO SCSI Controller", then click "Install".
(8) After the driver installation is complete, the virtual disk will be recognized. Follow the prompts to continue the installation process.
(9) At the "Let's connect you to a network" step during the initialization process, if a VirtIO network type is selected, drivers need to be installed to recognize the virtual network hardware. First, confirm that the driver ISO file is mounted to the virtual machine, then click to install the drivers.
(10) Select the CD drive and click the "Select Folder" button. After the driver search and installation are complete, the network adapter will be recognized.
(2) Click "Install App", and the application will automatically download and install.
(3) Once the download and installation are complete, open this interface to proceed with creating the required virtual machine.
