Importing a Ceph disk

[dpearceFL]

Doing this all on the command line to create a VM on a Ceph storage. Hoping this is a simple fix.

1. qm create ...
2. qemu-img create rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0 41G
   Formatting 'rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0', fmt=raw size=44023414784

When I run the following command, I get this error:

# qm disk import 998 rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0 Ceph
rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0: non-existent or non-regular file

What am I doing wrong?

Also tried " pvesm alloc Ceph 998 vm-998-disk-0 41G" to create the disk but got the same error on import.

1. qemu-img create rbd:Ceph/vm-998-disk-0 41G

does that really create an image on your "Ceph" storage or just a file with that name? qemu-img has not concept of Proxmox VE storage names.

The qm disk import command expects a file to import from.

Overall, what do you want to achieve?
