So I've looked at a ton of guides on this and they all want to make cows (qcow files) but I'm using lvm-thin on proxmox 5 which no longer does qcow I believe..
So I found a guide that says to just extract the ova file and then use the command: qm importovf
No problemo, I have a usb drive attached already, I used sftp to upload the extracted files, ran the command: qm importovf 2010 watchguard-dimension_2_1_1_U2_signed.ovf local-lvm
Nice.. all worked it created a new VM, I had to change the ram from 2mb to 2gb and added a e1000 network adaptor, and START! but then I get:
"Gave up waiting for root device.
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/wgrd.root does not exist. Dropping to shell
So I figured hmm okay upon closer inspection it created the disks exactly to their min size, 2.33gb and a few kb for the second disk.
I tried the entire thing again this time after more reading I did:
qm importovf 2020 watchguard-dimension_2_1_1_U2_signed.ovf local-lvm --format raw
and the resized the disks by adding 100gb to each.
Same error
I'm not sure what to do next, it looks like the disks are not detected as devices at all, I definitely see the disks in the lvm storage but when I try to see them in the shell after the error there is nothing under /dev/ that corresponds to a disk at all.
Nothing in /dev/mapper either
Please help, I can't find any updated guides on this.
