Cloud-init ubuntu cloud-image example broken apparently

[spamsam]

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cloud-Init_Support

The link above refers refers to the example below:

# download the image
wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

# create a new VM with VirtIO SCSI controller
qm create 9000 --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci

# import the downloaded disk to the local-lvm storage, attaching it as a SCSI drive
qm set 9000 --scsi0 local-lvm:0,import-from=/path/to/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

As such i put the following into the shell:

cd /var/lib/vz/images/
wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
qm create 9000 --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci
qm set 9000 --scsi0 local-lvm:0,import-from=/var/lib/vz/images/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

The last line leaves me with the following error:

400 Parameter verification failed.
scsi0: invalid format - format error
scsi0.import-from: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties

qm set <vmid> [OPTIONS]

Any ideas how to get around this? Proxmox 7.2

Hi,
please post the output of pveversion -v. It should work with qemu-server >= 7.1-5.

So just to confirm, is it non-functional in previous qemu versions?

So just to confirm, is it non-functional in previous qemu versions?

Yes, you need to use a different command with an older qemu-server package (it's for managing QEMU, not QEMU itself which is pve-qemu-kvm ). Please refer to the copy of the Documentation of your installed version (there's a Documentation button in the top bar in the GUI). But I'd recommend upgrading, so you get bug and security fixes.

Hei there,
I am following the same steps and the scsi import-from returns

scsi0.import-from: invalid format - unable to parse volume ID 'bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img'

qemu-server is on version 7.3-1

you need to provide an absolute path for import-from (or an existing volume ID to import from that).
