What problem does it solve? Deploying ClearPass Policy Manager 6.14 on Proxmox VE fails in undocumented ways: the KVM image only boots under UEFI, the installation guide misstates the disk size and bus type, the setup wizard renders on VGA only, and irreversible choices like disk encryption and appliance flavor are locked in at first boot. This Skill encodes a verified end-to-end procedure that avoids each of these traps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-power-on safety gate: Enforces UEFI firmware with an EFI disk, correct second-disk sizing per appliance flavor, ascending NIC MAC order, and volume resolution via qm config + pvesm path so the raw image write never targets the wrong disk. - Streamed image write with integrity verification: The stream-inflate-zip.py script inflates the ~5 GB compressed zip directly onto the target volume over SSH, verifying size and CRC32 against the zip header without staging a 45 GiB temp file. - VGA console automation: The console-type.py script converts literal strings into QEMU monitor sendkey commands to drive the VGA-only setup wizard, with a --stdin mode that keeps the cluster password out of argv and shell history. - Day-2 operations reference: Covers license ordering, HTTPS certificate import with trust-list requirements, and REST API token minting on 6.14. - Use Case: You received a ClearPass 6.14 KVM zip and a Proxmox host. Use this Skill to size the VM for a C1000V flavor, write the image safely, answer the first-boot wizard through the QEMU monitor, and validate the appliance before enabling autostart. ## Quick Start Use the clearpass-proxmox-deploy skill to plan and execute a ClearPass 6.14 C1000V deployment on my Proxmox VE host, starting with the pre-power-on verification gate.
