In the Proxmox web GUI, click on Create VM and create a VM which meets the requirements of the image you converted. You should be able to get a rough idea of the requirements for the KVM. Open the OVF file and look for the following XML tags: You can use vi to open the OVF file and understand some of the basic settings which are required for the VM. The principle here is we are going to use the Proxmox web GUI to create a VM and replace the empty disk image which is created with our recently converted qcow2 image. This is where things get tricky вЂ“ the OVF file is not compatible with Proxmox and needs to be manually understood. We now need to get the image into a VM with some hardware so that we can begin to use it. qemu-img convert -f vmdk myvm-disk1.vmdk -O qcow2 myvm-disk1.qcow2

Run the VMDK file through the converter вЂ“ note this can take a while with large files. The output will be two or more files вЂ“ one will be an OVF file which contains the settings and configuration of the virtual machine and one or more files will be VMDKs which are the disk images of the virtual machine.ДЄlthough you can run a VMDK file in Proxmox, itвЂ™s recommended to use qcow2 which is the default file format for Proxmox virtual machines. Run the tar command to extract the components of the OVA file onto your file system. An OVA file is simply a tar file containing an image file and some configuration for things like CPU, RAM, etc. SSH onto your Proxmox server and locate the OVA file. The file will then be available in the dump folder in the selected storage. Depending on the size of the OVA file and the bandwidth you have available, it may take a while to upload the file.

If you use the Proxmox web GUI you will need to rename the OVA to end in a iso extension and upload it as a ISO imageВ content. Virtual Machines should have less downtime so that's why I'm trying to avoid to copy them to server 2 and then to import them into Proxmox.We can still get an OVA template running in Proxmox but it will take a little bit of work to transform it into a functional VM.ДЇirst off, lets get the OVA file uploaded to the Proxmox server you can do this using SCP orВ the Proxmox web GUI. If I would stop libvirtd service on service 1 and change the setting dynamic_ownership = 0 on file /etc/libvirt/nf, would I be able to import the VM's disk image? Zfs error: cannot create 'volume1/vm-101-disk-1': volume size cannot be zero Use of uninitialized value $src_size in division (/) at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/QemuServer/ImportDisk.pm line 30.

Importing disk 'diskimg.qcow2' to VM 101.

Qm importdisk 101 diskimg.qcow2 volume1 -format raw I mounted a samba share on server 2 but when I'm trying the command What I'm trying to do is to import in Proxmox virtual machines that I now use under KVM in server no. 2 and on server 1 I have a few KVM virtual machines.
