Physical to PROXMOX VM

[Valentinas Solovjovas]

Hi,

I have old physical unknown linux OS with no access to OS, is it possible somehow migrate to Proxmox VM?

Hi,

General yes, you can dd the disk in a file and run this image in PVE.
But you have to test which storage type is working for this OS. The same applies for the network card.
CPU type KVM 32 or 64 should work.

DD is a Linux copy tool.
