Installed and configured VE 8.2.4, trying to migrate the VM's form ESXI 6.7 to Proxmox using Import Wizard.
able to import but the VM is not booting up. may be the configuration were overseen. Please guide me where I am failing, checking the below information.

change SCSI Controller to SATA!

@floh8 Thank you for your time for checking the details I have added and helping me.

I don't see SCSI controller type as SATA, added image below.

Thanks in advance.

Don't know your HW/CPU/socket layout but try changing cores to 2.

See here how Proxmox CPU/socket/core settings work. These maybe/probably different for ESXI.

 

[Naresh Avunoori]

I don't think the problem with the CPU, it's trying to boot initially and failing after some time, probably it could be related Hard Disk or it's supported driver configurations.
but I am not pretty clear.

 

[gfngfn256]

I don't think the problem with the CPU

Have you actually tried increasing the cores to 2?

 

[Naresh Avunoori]

Yes Tried , No luck same problem.

 

[grmg2010]

@floh8 didnt mean the controller type. He ment the Bus your virtuall drive is connected too


Did you changed cpu sockets to 1 aswell?

 

[Naresh Avunoori]

Below is my existing Disk details, I don't see an option to edit them,
do I need to add an additional Disk with the SATA and have to do something with it ?

could you please give more details on it if that is the case?

 

[grmg2010]

You might detach the exising disk and Re-attach it again. If you do so, there is the option to slect the bus-type you want to use.

 

[floh8]

THX @grmg2010 for correcting me.

 

[Naresh Avunoori]

no tried the suggestions and other available BUS options, No luck
landing in the same issue

 

[gfngfn256]

Try changing Processor Type from host to x86-64-v2-AES

 

[Naresh Avunoori]

Tried it, landing in to the same issue.
