Hi all When importing machines using the GUI, all 100GB machines migrate without a problem, but if I have a machine with one 120GB drive and one 200GB drive, I get this message. Is this because my local drive is 343GB? My entire storage where I store the machines is 180TB. Or is this caused by...

Okay das nutzt nur local-lvm für den Speicher. Das ist Block storage. Da gibt es also keine Datei dafür. Du kannst das oben in der lvs Ausgabe sehen │ ├─pve-vm--100--disk--0 252:6 0 60G 0 lvm Man kann diese virtuelle Festplatte innerhalb von PVE zu einer Datei verwandeln indem man...

I was referring to what the OP was saying. I understand about the Importer tool that PVE has currently and I love it, but it is only for importing a VM, i.e. from an ESXi Host, and that's V2V. But I meant to say that it would be nice to either have an option built in to PVE that would let...

I'm new to Proxmox, and I love everything so far about it. And it keeps getting better. However I do understand what Mehrdad.x is asking. I'm in the process of migrating over from the Evil VMWare platform. The one nice tool they had was their Stand alone Converter tool. It took an image of...

can i convert to Lvmthin without moving all the vms?

Hello people, first time happy new year 2026, now i tray to migrate vm from vmware 6.5, i download with winscp vmdk of VM host in Vmware 6.5, and upload to PVE9 with same Winscp, run command qm importdisk vm-id backup-name.vmdk disk-name --format raw but send error...

Understandable for me it's the opposite: Linux is my main driver for 15 years at least, I maintain Linux servers for a living for a decade now (if you include student jobs). In the last years it happened that my work notebook runs on Windows and i also need to maintain some Windows servers...

Thanks a lot for all the replies! We already have official Proxmox support, and since we’re in the same time zone (Germany), that helps as well. I think I’ll go ahead and continue with my migration for now. At the moment I’m using LVM shared with snapshot functionality, and once things calm...

I just did a quick Google search and think this isn't the way to convert VMs from VMware to Proxmox. Is that possible?

Hallo zusammen, wir sind aktuell dabei, unsere Virtualisierungsumgebung von VMware ESXi auf Proxmox VE zu migrieren und stoßen dabei auf ein Problem. Umgebung: Bisher: 3× ESXi-Hosts (VMware) Migration: nach Proxmox VE 9.0.1 (ein Host bereits im Einsatz) Storage: Pure Storage, angebunden via...

Please, let me know if you tried convert the image to KVM instead of use "qm importovf". Follow below a link with how to do. https://tomislavk.blog/aci/acisim-on-kvm/ Best Regards, Freitas.

Hi folks, I'm strugling with VM migration from vmware. Disks importation using the ui import wizard or the qm import features fails systematically : qm importdisk 10000 /mnt/pve/source_storage/myvm/myvm_1.vmdk dest_storage -format qcow2 importing disk...

Got it. So you go and start ad hominem attacks right off the bat to try to humiliate and minimize my authority so your remarks will stand out more... Pretty shitty move guy. Really does make me wonder why I even try on this forum because the bias towards killing its own product sometimes seems...

So I went ahead and decided I should followup with you @Johannes S and for any Proxmox devs as well as anyone else who might reference this thread. Regarding the two main claims here, both of which do not hold when you look at the numbers and where the industry is moving: 1) macOS and iOS...

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from esxi 7.0.3, 24585291 to proxmox 8 using this guide: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migrate_to_Proxmox_VE#Automatic_ESXi_Import:_Step_by_Step But when i lunch migration process fails with this error: create full clone of drive...

@Johannes S totally hear you. Most mature shops do have Ansible/cloud‑init pipelines already. This isn’t about "can’t," it’s about providing a default, safe, opinionated path that lowers support load and eliminates the steady stream of "Docker on the node" foot‑guns. A tiny, opt‑in Container...

These shops have already procedures for setting up servers with docker et al. Why should it be a problem for them to do the same with a VM? With ansible and cloud-init ( or something similiar), which they propably already use this is fully automated, a wizard still needs manual intervention...

Hi all, I'm new to Proxmox, for many years I've worked with VMware, but I'm start to enjoying Proxmox very much and now I'm migrating all the solutions I manage to Proxmox. One of those solutions is a VMware cluster that I intend to replace with a Proxmox Cluster. So, I got 3 servers, with the...

Using Veeam restore so the process of migration is slightly different, but the cleanest way I've found is to do a conversion to SATA first. Start on VMWare by adding a second disk as SATA and making sure the drivers loaded correctly and you can initialize that new disk, then shut down and change...

Hi all, I am migrating a VMware vSphere environment to PVE (latest version) with 3 nodes and ME4024 as iSCSI storage with multipath. I have some problems with several ubuntu machines. If I try to import them with the tool from GUI, the VM is correctly imported, but on startup it crashes like...
