Use qcow2 in zvol for VM

[Hgalt]

I tried to install Sophos FW in a Proxmox VE environment. But if I do pvesm list Data/vm-100-disk-0 I got an error.

What have I done so far!

• qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw /path/to/image.qcow2 /path/to/image.raw
• dd if=Primary-DISK.raw of=/dev/zvol/Data/vm-100-disk-0
  The vm-100-disk-0 was created via Create VM

So what did I wrong and how should do it?
Please in detail, because I am new in Linux.

pvesm list Data/vm-100-disk-0 is simply wrong. Maybe you intended to do pvesm list Data --vmid 100? Maybe look in /etc/pve/storage.cfg to check the name of the storage?

• qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw /path/to/image.qcow2 /path/to/image.raw
• dd if=Primary-DISK.raw of=/dev/zvol/Data/vm-100-disk-0
  The vm-100-disk-0 was created via Create VM

You can just convert it in one step:

qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O raw /path/to/image.qcow2 /dev/zvol/Data/vm-100-disk-0

You need to check if the file exists:

ls -l /dev/zvol/Data/vm-100-disk-0

nano /etc/pve/storage.cfg is empty!

That was the solution.

Another option would have been:
qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS]
