Importing VHD to Proxmox

[ImpactStrafe]

Using Proxmox 4.3-1
Raw disk type
2 1TB disks, 1 running proxmox, 1 for storage of VMs

I've moved my VHD over to Proxmox, converted it to a raw img file, created a VM (without starting it) navigated to the config file (see below for a copy of that file), however I can't find the pathway to replace with my img file.

Disk 2 is the second disk for VM storage, LVM type, and I can't find the file pathway to replace the disk file anywhere.

bootdisk: ide0

Hi,
on an lvm-disk the VM-disk are an logical-volume (lv) - so you can't copy or move an file on the "right" place.

But you can use dd for an block-copy. Look with "vgs" + "lvs" how your vg is named and do something like this:

dd if=/path/to/vm-file.img of=/dev/disk2-vg/vm-106-disk-1 bs=1M

This takes a while and after that, you can power on your VM and delete the /path/to/vm-file.img later.
