Import the Virtual Machine
|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Create a virtual machine with 2 cores, 2GB RAM, and one NIC on the default
|
||||
+vmbr0+ bridge:
|
||||
This will create a new virtual machine, using cores, memory and
|
||||
VM name as read from the OVF manifest, and import the disks to the +local-lvm+
|
||||
storage. You have to configure the network manually.
|
||||
|
||||
qm create 999 -net0 e1000,bridge=vmbr0 -name Win10 -memory 2048 -bootdisk sata0
|
||||
qm importovf 999 WinDev1709Eval.ovf local-lvm
|
||||
|
||||
Import the disk image to the +local-lvm+ storage:
|
||||
|
||||
qm importdisk 999 "MSEdge - Win10_preview.vmdk" local-lvm
|
||||
|
||||
The disk will be marked as *Unused* in the VM 999 configuration.
|
||||
After that you can go in the GUI, in the VM *Hardware*, *Edit* the unused disk
|
||||
and set the *Bus/Device* to *SATA/0*.
|
||||
The VM is ready to be started.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding an external disk image to a Virtual Machine
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add an existing disk image to a VM, either coming from a
|
||||
foreign hypervisor, or one that you created yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Suppose you created a Debian/Ubuntu disk image with the 'vmdebootstrap' tool:
|
||||
|
||||
vmdebootstrap --verbose \
|
||||
--size 10G --serial-console \
|
||||
--grub --no-extlinux \
|
||||
--package openssh-server \
|
||||
--package avahi-daemon \
|
||||
--package qemu-guest-agent \
|
||||
--hostname vm600 --enable-dhcp \
|
||||
--customize=./copy_pub_ssh.sh \
|
||||
--sparse --image vm600.raw
|
||||
|
||||
You can now create a new target VM for this image.
|
||||
|
||||
qm create 600 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --name vm600 --serial0 socket \
|
||||
--bootdisk scsi0 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --ostype l26
|
||||
|
||||
Add the disk image as +unused0+ to the VM, using the storage +pvedir+:
|
||||
|
||||
qm importdisk 600 vm600.raw pvedir
|
||||
|
||||
Finally attach the unused disk to the SCSI controller of the VM:
|
||||
|
||||
qm set 600 --scsi0 pvedir:600/vm-600-disk-1.raw
|
||||
|
||||
The VM is ready to be started.
