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...

Started over.

Created a new VM, bios type UEFI, created a UEFI disk, created a TPM disk, created a scsi0 LVM disk. Used dd to copy raw image into scsi0.

Still stuck. Booting Win11 ISO recovery tools, I am not able to see disk with diskpart and bcdedit is empty.

I hate UEFI.

Do you have the qemu guest tools installed inside the Windows VM? It is required otherwise Windows has no driver for virtio-scsi. If not you could try one of the other SCSI options or SATA.
Click to expand...

I had virtio-win installed and thought that was enough.

But... I moved the disk to a SATA device and it started right up, thanks for your help!!!
