Moving KVM VM raw image to Proxmox

[jblain]

I have a UBUNTU KVM server running a linux server guest (Jira). It is working well and I want to transfer this guest to a new Promox 3.4 host. The host is also working well and is already running some VMs. These Proxmox VM disk images are store in a ZFS pool called pool01. I can see them listed as disk images in the proxmox web viewer.

How can I transfert my UBUNTU KVM disk image (.qcow2) to Proxmox in ZFS pool01?

If I select the ZFS pool01 in the web giu and look at its content, I see the disk images for the already present VM guests. If I try to upload I am only offered the possibilities : iso image, vzdump backup files, openvz template.

I do not seem to find any *.qcow2 in my proxmox file system so obviously, I am missing something. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Regards

I think you will have to create a KVM VM in Proxmox first matching the original VM specs. Set storage to be ZFS pool01. See where Proxmox will create the new disk image (something like zfs://pool1/path/to/disk/images/<VMID>/). Overwrite this new VM's qcow2 disk image with your ubuntu image.
