Migrate ESXI VMs from nvme0 to nvme1 on the same machine

Hello there,

I'm trying to migrate from ESXI to Proxmox. I only have server, so I've simply added a 990 pro to the server. I installed Proxmox on it, and was hoping I could mount the 980 pro (on which ESXI is installed, and on which all of the VMs are) - but it appears to be impossible to mount and run the ESXI Vms from the existing 980 pro.

Is there any way to mount the 980 pro with ESXI on it, find the VMDK's of the VMs and simply run them, or move them to the newly added 990 pro storage?

I managed to mount it with VMFS-fuse 6:

But any action I try to take, like permanently mount it with ```pvesm add dir bak --path /mnt/bak --content backup``` results in Read-only errors. I cannot manage to access the files in the GUI either, nor can I figure out how to import or add them as VMs in proxmox.

Any clues?

Kind regards,
Remy
