Does PVE 2.x support OVF import?

[blender]

Hi All,

Does PVE 2.x support OVF import?

There is a pre-2.x thread here about the subject where it isn't clear if the proposed workaround at the time worked: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/9612-OVF-Import

If not, is the proposed solution in the thread above still the best practice for achieving this? i.e.

[COLOR=#333333]qemu-img convert -O raw </path/to/file.vmdk> file.raw[/COLOR]

Please advise.

Thanks!

Converting to raw worked for me. Specifically the VMDK was multipart so I converted each one to a raw file, concatenated them together to one raw file (e.g. vm-NNN-disk-1.raw), created a directory NNN under /var/lib/vz/images and moved the vm-NNN-disk-1.raw file into it, copied an existing /etc/qemu-server/NNN.conf and edited accordingly. The VM then appeared in the admin interface from where I started it.

An import would be nice but this worked for me. Hope the steps above helps someone else.

Cheers
