Good day ALL!
I have vmware on my laptop and I have proxmox installed on a Dell R720 2U server... I have been exporting vm's that i setup and test sometimes at home then export them from vmware as an ovf and import them into proxmox... This has worked for me however i am battling with one vm that doesn't boot in proxmox after the import.. It gets stuck on 100% on the centos 7 loading bar and stays there...
The reason that i cannot do it from a fresh install is that this is a demo product and this is the only way we can get it and use it in our lab. See steps below:
Export from VMware the ovf.
Copy ovf to proxmox server using winscp
Import the ovf using command "qm importovf 103 vnG1-v6.3p.ovf local-lvm"
I have tried it as is and also tried to manually import the disks and convert them from vmdk to qcow2 by using command "qm importdisk 103 vnG1-v6.3p-disk2.vmdk local-lvm -format qcow2 "
I get the exact same result... It is worth noting that the vm boots fine in vmware... Any help will be much appreciated!! It is 2 drives that i need to import so i am not sure if that might be the problem.. I have also tried to use different SCSI controllers...
