clearpass-proxmox-deploy is a skill for Codex from fastrevmd-lab/fwskillsshare. It costs 68 tokens per session (5,838 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A draft procedure for deploying HPE Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager 6.14, a system that manages network access rules, as a virtual machine on Proxmox VE, a virtualization platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to size and deploy the ClearPass appliance, work through its first-boot wizard, troubleshoot GRUB boot failures, import an HTTPS certificate, and use its REST API.
Why use it?
It records deployment details and observed boot problems that are not clearly explained in the installation guide, including the need for UEFI boot and specific disk setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

clearpass-proxmox-deploy scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/console-type.py, scripts/stream-inflate-zip.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Deploying ClearPass Policy Manager on Proxmox VE

STATUS: draft (v0.1.0). The procedure below was executed end-to-end once, on CPPM 6.14.0.371380 as a C1000V, on Proxmox VE 9.2. Every claim in Gotchas was observed in that build unless explicitly marked [unverified]. It needs a repeat run — and ideally one non-C1000V flavor — before it earns a stable label. Values in <angle brackets> are site-specific.

Overview

The ClearPass 6.14 KVM image only boots under UEFI. The installation guide never says so, and the failure mode is silent. Its GRUB menu entry calls linuxefi/initrdefi, which do not exist in the BIOS (i386-pc) build of GRUB 2.06. Under SeaBIOS the appliance reaches its GRUB menu, fails every boot attempt including the 10-second auto-timeout, and redraws the menu. It looks exactly like a dead keyboard. Set bios: ovmf and attach an EFI disk.

ClearPass ships as a single raw disk image in a zip — no OVA, no qcow2, no seed ISO. Deployment is therefore: create a VM whose first disk is byte-exactly the size of that raw image, write the image onto it, attach a second, empty data disk sized for the target appliance flavor, and boot. The appliance partitions the second disk itself and installs onto it on first boot.

There are two hard gates and both are pre-power-on:

  1. Firmware must be UEFI (above).
  2. The second disk must already exist. Boot without it and the appliance kernel-panic loops; the guide states this and it is accurate.

Everything after that is an interactive console wizard, which is the second awkward part — it renders on VGA only (see §5).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

clearpass-proxmox-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository fastrevmd-lab/fwskillsshare (8 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 5,838 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
