Trying to move a few Windows VMs from TrueNAS Scale. Created VM in proxmox with an LVM scsi0, then used dd to copy raw zvol over...

Bash:
 dd if=/dev/zvol/antares/Neptune-b26xb bs=1M status=progress |ssh root@192.168.1.5 'dd of=/dev/pve/vm-101-disk-0 bs=1M'

Start VM, proxmox does not recognize scsi0 as bootable.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Just realized the main issue... the original VM was booting UEFI and I was using the wrong BIOS.

After changing BIOS I get a little farther...

Added a UEFI disk, set my imported raw disk as second disk scsi0, set boot order.

Still bumbling my way through it, now stuck here...
