Hi Muhammad,<br>
<br>
See a recent thread on this list 'Vmware to Proxmox migration" and
especially the answer from Ernst Holger. He meant to use the backup
program from Vmware, to store the backup to a network share
(NFS...), then use the backup program from proxmox, and the function
'restore', to restore the VM on Proxmox. Martin Maurer tested it and
agreed it was the easiest solution.<br>
<br>
For the growable image file, it seems it is possible to convert it
with vmware vdisk-manager. See for example this thread :<br>

tell me what do u mean by exporting with VMWARE stuff ?
unfortunately i am using VMware harddisk which increase the size
when data inserted. :(. and i think we can not convert that type
of harddisk with Qemu converter. make me right if mis-concept.

Hi,<br>
<br>
I would suggest the following:<br>
<br>
- Export the image of the VMWare VM using VMWare stuff<br>
- Convert it with qemu-img<br>
- qemu-img convert -O raw input_disk output_disk<br>
- d the output_disk file onto the device<br>
<br>
I had to do this on some VMs which were exhibiting the
same black screen<br>
you're getting.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
