Hello,

I am trying to migrate a physical windows server to a proxmox VM. I am fallowing this guide: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE,Physical (running) server to Proxmox VE (KVM) using SelfImage. However I cant find qemu-nbd anywhere on the system, I tried to use nbd-server but had no luck. How can I install/use qemu-nbd in proxmox 1.5?

I have tried searching the forums and google, sorry if I missed something!

PVE version: pve-manager/1.5/4674
Kernel: 2.6.24-10-pve (upgraded from 2.6.18-2-pve)

Thanks!

**EDIT**

I was able to download a proxmox 1.4 ISO, mount and find the package that contains qemu-nbd (pve-qemu-kvm_0.11.0-2_amd64.deb, located in: /proxmox/packages/)
Not sure why this isn't included in proxmox 1.5/the newer version of pve-qemu-kvm. I am testing the binary right now, I'll post back with results.

Also when creating the empty disk image before I start qemu-nbd, does it matter what format I make the image?

Thanks!

Hi,
you don't have
Code: 
proxmox:~% which qemu-nbd
/usr/bin/qemu-nbd
???
Do you have installed pve-qemu-kvm correctly?
If yes, show the output of "pveversion -v"

Hey Udo, thank you for your quick reply!

I dont seem to have qemu-nbd, which returns nothing:
FOUNDRY:~# which qemu-nbd
FOUNDRY:~#

Find also returns nothing:
FOUNDRY:/# find -name qemu-nbd
FOUNDRY:/#

I used the proxmox 1.5 ISO to install on this server, and I have not changed anything (besides networking) so I assume its installed correctly. Here is pveversion -v:
FOUNDRY:/# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.5-8 (pve-manager/1.5/4674)
running kernel: 2.6.24-10-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.18: 1.5-5
pve-kernel-2.6.24-10-pve: 2.6.24-21
pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5
qemu-server: 1.1-11
pve-firmware: 1.0-3
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-10
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve8
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm-2.6.18: 0.9.1-5

Any ideas?

Thanks!

qemu-nbd is only available when you use a newer kernel and 'pve-qemu-kvm'. It is not part of the standard 2.6.18 installation.
