There are sooo many documents and recommendations for restoring a VM from VMware to PVE via Veeam, and none seem to work for me. Here is what I have done for a Windows 2025 Server:
1. With the VM powered on in the VMware environment, I uninstalled VMware tools
2. Installed all VirtIO drivers.
3. Shutdown VM, backed up VM on VMware with Veeam version 13.
4. Restored VM to Proxmox. The restored VM SCSI controller was "VMware PVSCSI."
5. I detached disk Deleted controller, and reattached disk with VirtIO SCSI.
6. Booted server and no disk found.
I tried adding a small IDE drive for the drivers would get installed (I thought they were installed when I installed them while the server was on VMware), and that does not work.
I am looking for a Proxmox supported tried and true, step by step solution if anyone has one. Thank you
