Proxmox - Convert VMDK to QCOW2
The qemu-img command is pre-installed on Proxmox, and can be used to convert (with the convert option) the "disk image filename" to another disk image format.
And here's most used format supported by the convert arg
| Image format | Argument |
|---|---|
| QCOW2 (KVM, Xen) | qcow2 |
| VMDK (VMware) | vmdk |
| VHD (Hyper-V) | vhd |
| raw | raw |
| VDI (VirtualBox) | vdi |
| QED (KVM) | qed |
We have a VMDK used in VMware product (ESXI for exemple), we can convert it to qcow2
qemu-img convert -f vmdk openmanage_enterprise.x86_64-0.0.1-disk1.vmdk -O qcow2 OpenManageEntreprise-3-1.qcow2
