do not have file in /var/lib/vz/images once VM created

[rjcab]

Hello,

I tried to import a vmdk file so first I create a VM (110) and then

qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 fichier.vmdk disque.qcow2


qm disque.qcow2 /var/lib/vz/images/110/vm-110-disk-0.qcow2

The issue is that I don't have the folder "110" created, I think I missed something ?

THanks

From the docs, Use:

qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS]

Import an external disk image as an unused disk in a VM. The image format has to be supported by qemu-img(1).

From the docs, Use:

To expand on @gfngfn256 's solution - by using qemu-img directly you essentially bypassed all PVE mechanisms.
You could do this, but you need to know about and do all the other steps manually as well. The "qm disk import" is the way to go.
