Hi there,
As I wrote in an other thread, I'm very new to proxmox world and trying to set up an xpenology vm..
Already installed and got evrything working except fot the synoboot.img that I left on the USB.. so I would like to move it from usb to local-lvm vm-100-disk-1 where actually i have my nas storage in way to be able to detach the usb from the microserver :)
can you help me in doing this?

Thanks a lot!

you can import a disk to a vm with
Code:
qm importdisk
see 'man qm' for details on how to use it

Thanks for the answer.. actually the usb is patitioned in 3 parts. And when i try the cp command it hangs (actually the shell stucks and does not respond anymore)..

can't get how to use the qm importdisk..
My usb is /dev/sde

and the location is /var/lib/vz/images/100/

Thanks a lot!



EDIT:

i actually was able to copy the .img into the vm path.. but now the xpenology does not automatically boot! I have to press ESC and choose the hdd (it see the bootloader still in the usb even if it is unplugged!)
