I am trying to migrate a Hyper-V virtual machine using StarVind V2V Converter (9.0.1.554).
I select the local sx2.vhdx file and choose to migrate to proxmox.

I choose to use the qcow2 format and get the error: Formatting '/mnt/pve/d1/images/402/vm-402-disk-0.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 cluster_size=65536 extended_l2=off preallocation=metadata compression_type=zlib size=109952236519424 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=1 6 qemu-img: Failed to flush the refcount block cache: File too large TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 402 - unable to create image: qemu-img: /mnt/pve/d1/images/402/vm-402-disk-0.qcow2: The image size is too large for file format 'qcow2' (try using a larger cluster size)

If you do not select a format qcow2 then I get the error: Formatting '/mnt/pve/d1/images/402/vm-402-disk-0.raw', fmt=raw size=109952236519424 preallocation=off TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 402 - unable to create image: /mnt/pve/d1/images/402/vm-4 02-disk-0.raw: The image size is too large for file format 'raw'

You are really going to virtualize 100 TB? Brave...!

Look for importing it directly, omitting the need for a temporary file of that size. I do not know what "d1" is - make sure to use a block device, not a file.

Sorry, I have no Hyper-V so I have no actual solution for you.
 
Sorry, I just see Cyrillic characters I can not read...
 
Did you already try qemu-img or qm-import? I used these tools to convert 200GiB vhds to qcow and zfs thin storage
 
You can use qm import ( which is described in the wiki) to convert vhdx. qemu-img would work too. Googling for qemu-img, qm import and vhdx should give enough results to work with.

I already searched for instructions on google and tried as it is written there, but I did not succeed. So I tried to migrate using StarVind V2V Converter, it also did not work.
So I wrote on the forum about my problem.
