Hallo,

ich möchte eine Qcow image die auf die externe Festplatte liegt auf Proxmox binden und dadurch eine VM erstellen.

Die Festplatte ist per USB Angeschlossen und die Qcow Image soll zur einer VM hinzugefügt werden und dadurch hochgefahren werden.
Wie mache ich es

Ich bräuchte hilfe dazu.

Vielen Dank im voraus
 
At high level something to the effect of:
- plug usb in
- mkdir /mn/usb
- mount /dev/usb /mnt/usb
- PVE gui>datacenter>storage>add directory>add usb
- mkdir /mnt/usb/images/[vmid]
- mv qcow.qcow /mnt/usb/images/[vmid]
- cd /mnt/usb/images/[vmid]
- mv qcow.qcow vm-[id]-disk0.qcow
- qm rescan
- PVE GUI vm options>assign disk to controller, mark it as bootable

these are pseudo instructions, theyare off in some detail and you need to figure out exact paths or place to click on your own.
if you reboot the disk will not be mounted automatically. If you prefer it to work that way, you need to google "linux fstab".

good luck
