Migration VM from Hyper-V to Proxmox

Disk Converting

Import disk to Proxmox requires converting the virtual hard disk to a supported format like raw or qcow2.

In this example we will migrate a virtual machine from Hyper-V. We need to convert a vhdx disk to qcow2:

qemu-img convert -f vhdx -O qcow2 /path/source/image.vhdx /path/desc/image.qcow2

Run qemu-img -help for more information.

After the file is converted, run the following command to check for disk image errors:

qemu-img check -r all /path/desc/image.qcow2

Importing Disk

Next, import the converted disk to Proxmox. Create your VM and use its VMID to run this command:

qm importdisk [VMID] /path/desc/image.qcow2 [StorageID]

Replace [VMID] and [StorageID] with your values.

Example — import disk for VMID 101 to storage local-lvm:

qm importdisk 101 /path/desc/image.qcow2 local-lvm

Done. Happy running your VM!
