Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The beginning of the tag shows the name of the cluster as name="pmx-cluster"."

A block of code is set as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cluster name="pmx-cluster" config_version="2">
<cman keyfile="/var/lib/pve-cluster/corosync.authkey"></cman>
<clusternodes>
  <clusternode name="pmxvm01" votes="1" nodeid="1"/>
  <clusternode name="pmxvm02" votes="1" nodeid="2"/>
</clusternodes>
</cluster>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

# ssh [email protected]

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "The Storage tab is probably one of the most important options in the Proxmox GUI."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
