Importing Virtual Machines and disk images

A VM export from a foreign hypervisor takes usually the form of one or more disk

After getting informed about the user agreement, choose the _Microsoft Edge on

Extract the disk image from the zip

Using the unzip utility or any archiver of your choice, unpack the zip,

Create a new virtual machine and import the disk
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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.
