For the past few months I have read this section several times:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE
However I think some points are not clear:
1. Vmware virtualization utility creates several .vmdk files (in chunks) that is not usable which you must use the following utility vmware-vdiskmanager. I looked at several website about using this utility but still not clear on the exact command. Can some one who had success can you please explain? I know it seems like an easy step but no one has very much explained the exact step on how to convert these darn small .vmdk files into one large one.
2. Lets assume that you create one large .vmdk: In proxmox 1.5 the drop down choiice for disk format states that it supports .vmdk, is that true or you must convert to qcow2? Please explain?
Thanks in advance
