add existing image to new vm

[mouk]

Hi,

I have read several posts, where they say: copy the image to the proper location (./images/100/vm-100-disk-1.raw) and then it should appear in the gui as an unused disk, ready to be assigned to the machine.

However, this does not seem to work here.

I can of course add a second disk to a machine, and then replace the auto-created file with my existing disk image. That works, but feels so.... let's say, unofficial.

Is the first procedure I described supposed to work, or is the second way the 'official' way to do this?

No this can't work. You something like this in your config:

unused0: v-machines:vm-106-disk-2

Thank you.
