Convert vmdk image to qcow on ZFS

[yena]

What is the correct procedure to convert a vmdk image to a qemu KVM ZFS image ?
( i need ZFS Replication .. )

If i create a vm-1001-disk-1 and than:

dd if=win2012-pve.vmdk of=/rpool/data/vm-1001-disk-1

Thanks!

This didn't work for me, it seem to obviously miss the convert command. Then it worked.

"qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw <path>/win2012-pve.vmdk /dev/zvol/rpool/data/vm-10001-disk-1"

Does the zvol already exist?
If not you have to create it first. qemu-img can not create zvols.
