Unpack the VM archive until you get to the disk image (.vmkd .qcow2 etc and .ovf files)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transfer the files to the Proxmox Server into somewhere like \/var\/lib\/vz\/template\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ssh into the server (or from the shell in the web interface) and create a new VM that has the correct specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CD \/var\/lib\/vz\/template and run the following depending on the original disk file:
KVM: qm importdisk ‘vm-id’ \/var\/lib\/vz\/template\/’disk name.qcow2′ External (location)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an OVF first unpack it, extract the .vmkd file and upload it, then do the VMWARE stuff.
VMWARE: convert first and then import
qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 ‘vmkd-disk-name’.vmdk ‘qcow2-disk-name’.qcow2
qm importdisk ‘vm-id’ \/var\/lib\/vz\/template\/’disk name.qcow2′ External (location)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There should now be a unused disk against that machine that can be attached to it, don’t forget to add the new disk to the boot order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
