qm importovf error

[Proxide]

I'm trying to import a Tenable .ova into Proxmox so I follow these steps.

1) Downloaded the .ova from - https://www.tenable.com/downloads/t...d=true&loginAttempted=true#tenablecore-nessus
2) Used scp to transfer it to my Proxmox
3) Then I used tar xvf example to get my .ovf and .vmdk files
4) Then I run qm importovf 333 Nessus.ovf storage-1 but I get the following error message:




Any thoughts?

Try with:
qm importovf 333 Nessus.ovf storage-1 -format qcow2 or vmdk
But maybe is there a problem with the ovf file instead.
I'll try on my proxmox to import the ovf file and the I'll ler you know if I have the same error.

Ok, I've tried and I have the same problem! Is a problem in the ovf file.
You can do this way...create a VM without Media and HDD....when the VM is created you can import the disk with:
qm importdisk 333 Tenable-Core-Nessus-20230417_disk0.vmdk Storage --format qcow2

When this is done you'll see an unused disk in the VM, attach it, change the boot order, and start the VM.
I've tried and it's worked.

Hey @vescovialex,
It worked! I created the VM first and made sure any hard drives were removed. I ran the importdisk command as instructed, attached it to the vm, and changed the boot order.
Thank you for the assist!
