Import/Install .disk KVM appliance

[AndyRed]

Hi All:

I'm trying to install a downloaded KVM-based appliance from Kemp with the following format:

LoadMaster-VLM-7.2.47.0.17592.RELEASE-Linux-KVM-XEN-FREE.disk

How do I go about installing this file type or does it need to be converted?

Thanks much,

Andy

if it is a 'raw' disk image, just rename it to *.raw and use 'qm importdisk', see 'man qm' for more details about this

Appreciate the feedback @dcsapak. After trying to get the KVM-based image going, I solved the issue by importing a VMware image in /root and issued the following detail:

NOTE | I had created a blank VM first with VMID of 100. Also changed the SCSI Controller type to reflect VMware. I've not tested performance at this point but the VM is working well.

root@proxmox:/# cd /root
root@proxmox:~# ls
