Hi,
I am considering to install proxmox on my new home machine with x64 architecture.
Currently, I have a ARM64 VM is working on a old machine with arm64 architecture (with Qcow2 format).
Is it possible to migrate this VM to proxmox on my new home machine with x64 architecture please ? (VM arm64 on ARM64 arch to VM arm64 on X64 arch)
 
Hi,
Proxmox VE does ship with a qemu-system-aarch64 binary for emulating ARM64 VMs. You can try with setting the arch: aarch64 and machine: virt options in the VM configuration. However, please note that you cannot use hardware emulation, so performance is worse and that it's not tightly integrated e.g. in the UI and you might need to tinker a bit more. To import the disk you can use e.g. qm set 123 --scsi0 local-lvm:0,import-from=/path/to/your/qcow/image.qcow2.
