shell access to different drives

[Arinmal]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to qemu-img convert a file over a vm added drive (so not local). I cant find it with winscp or in shell as root.

this is the command I'm trying to use
qemu-img convert -O raw -p -n DietPi_VMware-x86_64-Buster.qcow2 rbd:VM-Drive/vm-104-disk-0

but I don't have ceph installed. the drive/file doesn't exist using that command. When trying to use iscsi or lvmthin instead of rdb it still doesn't work, protocol doesn't exist

/dev/sde is the root/local
/dev/sdd is the VM-Drive

what am I doing wrong?

Edit: so I got it coppied over use this command
qemu-img convert -O raw -p -n DietPi_VMware-x86_64-Buster.qcow2 /dev/mapper/VM--Drive-vm--104--disk--0

now booting is either extremely slow or just gets stuck.

but I don't have ceph installed. the drive/file doesn't exist using that command.

The qemu-img tool does not know how to handle the Proxmox VE storage definitions.
Check the qm importdisk [0] command.
Why are you trying to import it to a Ceph pool if you don't have Ceph installed?

now booting is either extremely slow or just gets stuck.

What are the symptoms when it gets stuck? How is the VM configured?

Thanks for the reply! I followed a different guide and started from scratch. It's all working now
