VMWare Workstation17 - old RedHat61 needs to create an instance in Proxmox

[RLBrink]

I have been using VMWare Workstation Pro 17. I decided to test Proxmox. I have a VM that is running RedHat 6.1 (really!). I have been trying to figure out how to migrate toProxmox. I have a vmdk, ova and ovf file from the VMWare instance. These are the commands I ran:

1. qm importovf 100 ./RedHat61.ovf local-lvm --format qcow2
2. qm importdisk 100 RedHat61-disk1.vmdk local-lvm -format qcow2

Both ran successfully. Here is a scrrenshot:


But when i start the vm and go to console:

I'm not sure what I need to do. We are testing Proxmox and for now no subscription

Try booting the VM with Super Grub disc ISO; if that doesn't work, try Rescatux

Hi,
step 1 should have been enough for the import. Step 2 is just plain disk import and not required. Thats why the vm config lists an unused disk.
Try different setting for the SCSI controller, like virtio-scsi-single instead of the LSI 53C895A. VM might boot successfully then.
