I was trying to import a VMDK disk into my Proxmox (8.3) cluster using qm disk import --format vmdk and then i got the following error: format 'vmdk' is not supported by the target storage - using 'raw' instead How do I know which disk formats does my target storage supports? And how to make it...

I'm searching for a way to import EC2 AMIs, which are composed of VMDK files, into Proxmox, but I don't know how make it work. The AMI is being generated from AWS export/import tasks. I have seen some tutorials on the internet, but they are referring to import a instance into Proxmox, not the...

I am trying to import .vmdk files from an SMB share ("ISOs") I have mounted on my Proxmox server. I have tried following the instructions here but the VM is never able to boot. I have even tried using Starwind V2V to qcow2 and the VM could not boot then either. I just started fresh, my exact...

Amazon is attempting to lock in their customers into their EC2 offering. I'm going to show you one way how to break that lock-in. Amazon purposely makes it as difficult as possible to migrate virtual machines off of EC2 and onto other formats. AWS REQUIRES that you invoke their command-line...

Hello all. After much searching it looks that the favored way to convert a Proxmox VM to VMware is the method of using qemu-img to convert it. As shown here: https://www.cinderblock.tech/p/migrating-proxmox-raw-lvm-to-vmdk-for-vmware/ If you use "Move Storage" in the GUI to convert to .vmdk do...

Good morning everyone! We are trying to migrate a 60 GiB vmdk Virtual Machine to Proxmox 8.0.3, but "qm import" is generating a 1000 GiB vmdk file root@pve:~# qm importdisk 103 /mnt/pve/Synology/vmfile.vmdk DISK_SDK --format vmdk importing disk '/mnt/pve/Synology/vmfile.vmdk' to VM 103 ...

With RHEV/oVirt/CentOS all being decomissioned, I am looking for a new home. Proxmox is looking better than Xcp-ng in many ways, but even if those guys use Xen, migration facilities seem much easier and more mature. oVirt/RHV wasn't too bad at importing VMware VMs, but its own exports tend to...

Moin, aktuell habe ich das Vergnügen vmWare Maschinen auf PVE zu migrieren. Alles in Allem funktioniert das auch, die Hardware wird "umgebaut" und die Treiber greifen auch. Mir stellt sich nur eine Frage: Meine lieben externen Kollegen (ein Systemhaus in NL) hat überhaupt keine Lust, mir die...

G'day from Australia, We've got a predicament that we'd appreciate some guidance with. 4x managed VMs run on 2x ESXi hosts (2+2), and there's no supported pathway to migrate them (ie. ditch ESXi in favour of PVE). Across the remainder of our infrastructure, ESXi has been gladly purged and our...

VMDK Image is standard VMware, right? If I upload this image on PROXMOX will there be any incompatibilities or will it degrade machine performance? Thanks

Hallo Zusammen, Wir haben ein Problem beim Migrieren einer VM vom einen Node auf den anderen. Die zu transferierende VM hat 2 Festplatten eingebunden. Eine im local-lvm und eine auf einem Remote Synology Server. Dieser Synology Server ist bei beiden Nodes über NFS unter demselben namen...

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...
