Hello.

I've installed a proxmox 6.0 pve in our infrastructure to get rid of our VmWare Vsphere servers
Now, I'm trying to migrate from vmware to proxmox the old computers we had

I should be not so far but it doesn't work, and I don't know why

Here are the parts I did so far :
  1. transfered via NFS the disk-flat.vmdk and disk.vmdk to a directory in proxmox
  2. converted the disk-flat.vmdk to disk.raw via qemu-img (qemu-img convert -O raw)
  3. We use ZFS. I created a machine that uses ZFS pool and created a same size disk
  4. did a dd to transfer raw disk to zfs pool :
    dd if=disk.raw of=/dev/zvol/zfs-datas/vm-100-disk-0 bs=1M
  5. Houra ! the disk is copied. I can see /dev/zvol/zfs-datas/vm-100-disk-0-part1, I can mount it, and look at the files.
  6. I can look at the partition with fdisk /dev/zvol/zfs-datas/vm-100-disk-0. The first partition is bootable
Bash:
Disk /dev/zvol/zfs-datas/vm-100-disk-0: 160 GiB, 171798691840 bytes, 335544320 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 8192 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 8192 bytes / 8192 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xa80c0f85

Device                              Boot Start       End   Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/zvol/zfs-datas/vm-100-disk-0p1 *     2048 335544319 335542272  160G  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

But when I try to boot, it repeatidly says to me "no bootable device found"

I tried to add a directory storage and use the vmdk and flat-vmdk with vmware storage disk type. Same thing : no bootable device

I don't know how to do ...

TIA for your answers
