[SOLVED] Import Qemu VM to ProxMox

[sirkope]

Hi all,

I have a Qemu VM in a qcow2 file, how can I import it to ProxMox?
In which folder do I have to copy, should I have to convert it, and how can I add the disk image to an existing or a new ProxMox VM?

You can import a qcow disk to an existing vm via qm import. This way it gets copied to the appropriate location based on your storage layout.

Thank you.

1. Create a VM
2. Delete the initial disk if you want
3. Use qm importdisk https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/qm.1.html
   

   qm importdisk <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).
          <vmid>: <integer> (1 - N)
              The (unique) ID of the VM.
          <source>: <string>
              Path to the disk image to import
          <storage>: <string>
              Target storage ID
          --format <qcow2 | raw | vmdk>
              Target format

4. Change boot order to your new disk
