qcow2

Hi all, So, I exported a Windows 10 VM to an .ova file from VirtualBox and extracted it on Proxmox VE. Then I made a VM with the same specs as the previous VM. I converted from .vmdk to .qcow2 and replaced the disk in the VM with the one from the .ova. But everytime I try to start a Windows 10...

Just ran these the other week, thought I'd share. I'll try to do some more proper ones on Linux, but before that happens here's some CrystalDiskMark ones on Windows 2019 (virtio-scsi). The underlying storage is a single Samsung 850 PRO SSD. I was pleasantly surprised by the QCOW2 performance...

Hello! I have migrated / copied over a virtual disk (qcow2) created with Virsh. This disk has 2 partitions and uses UEFI. When I start a VM in Proxmox using this virtual disk, the SeaBIOS is loaded and fails to boot UEFI. How can I fix this? THX

Hi, the storage live migration creates a thick provisioned target even if a format like qcow2 is selected. I only found the announcement for PVE 3.0 where someone mentioned to use qemu-img convert afterwards to create a sparse image file. But how would this be done on a running VM?

Hi. I want to make a VM with format qcow2 in a iSCSI target. I found in tutorials that is possible make a file system to the iscsi device,and the select qcow2 (to make snapshot possible) when creating the VM. But, i dont find how do this... how make a qcow2 format to a VM in a iSCSI target with...

Hi all, I'm wondering if it is possible to move/transfert a VM disk from local HDD to a SAN LVM over ISCSI storage without reinstalling VM from scratch.. I'm aware that in the first place i will need to convert my disk image from qcow2 to raw before attempting to import it in SAN storage. Is...

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir haben einen Proxmox-Cluster aus 13 Maschinen aufgebaut, davon sind 9 Maschinen kleine Shuttle-PC vom Typ DH110, Geräte die für den Dauerbetrieb zertifiziert sind und die im Einzeltest unter Proxmox 4.x ein Jahr störungsfrei gelaufen sind. 2 Maschinen sind...

If a VM is build using qcow2 or vmdk HDD format with size say 1TB and fill it up completely, it uses 1TB of Proxmox server disk space, but when you delete files from VM, it does not de-allocate HDD space and still 1TB of disk is used on Proxmox disks. I faced this problem on 4.0 and 4.2 PVE...

Hey everyone ! We were moving disks from a storage to another and noticed that when they arrive on the new storage, the thin provisioning expanded to full space. Before, when we had a few VMs, we could use the old method to empty the disks (using dd to fill the disk with zeros and deleting...

I just installed a fresh PVE 4.4 with local-lvm and ceph rbd storage. Now when creating a new VM I'm unable to select 'qcow2' format or any other except 'raw' for unknown reason. It does not matter if I try to use ceph-rbd or local-lvm the 'Format' GUI field is always grayed out. I know that...
