Hi Muhammad,<br>
<br>
Why did you convert your image to qcow2 ? I always use raw image
file. I don't know if the problem lies here. Obviously, If you
created first a VM with qcow2 file format, you must replace it also
by a qcow2 file, but I would create a VM with raw files...<br>
<br>
If the disk is IDE (and it must), you have to apply first the ide
reg patch (mergeide), because your HD was certainly SCSI within
vmware.... See :<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> 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>

sounds interesting and new. can you please 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>
