Migration of physical disk to proxmox

[Giovs]

Hello everyone, i have a problem with migration by a physical disk to proxmox. I follow this quide:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE#Converting_to_qcow2 but doesn't work!

In folder /var/lib/vz/images/ doesn't create nothing folder when i create a VM as the guide says.

Hi,
I guess you use an actual pve - than the vm storage is on lvm-thin...
To enable the old storage for vm-disks select under "datacenter -> Storage -> local: Edit" as content "Disk Images" too.

Than you can create an VM with storage local (and not local-lvm).

Create a new VM and over write a qcow2 file, cp qcow2fileorig to image directory new VM.

Ok walterced, now this is output:

Now enabling the cache writeback on disk it works!!! (I'm happy ) but on start log report this error:

TASK ERROR: command '/bin/nc6 -l -p 5900 -w 10 -e '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 100 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 1

 

[walterced]

Create a VM not use any media and over write a qcow2 file

ok walterced tk!
