We will assume throughout the article that we want to migrate the webserver virtual machine from kvm hypervisor to proxmox
1 — From the kvm hypervisor, export the webserver virtual machine in qcow2 format
<pre><code class="lang-bash">qemu-img convert -O qcow2 /dev/vg0/lv_webserver /data/images/webserver01.qcow2
</code></pre>
2 — Copy the disk to the proxmox server
<pre><code class="lang-bash">scp /data/images/webserver01.qcow2 serverproxmox:/data/
</code></pre>
3 — Create a machine on the proxmox server
<pre><code class="lang-bash">qm create 114 — name webserver02 — memory 2048 — net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
</code></pre>
114 is the id of the VM proxmox
4 — Import the disk
<pre><code class="lang-bash">qm importdisk 114 webserver01.qcow2 local-vms
</code></pre>
local-vms is the storage space
5 — We associate the new disk to the virtual machine created on proxmox
<pre><code class="lang-bash">qm set 114 — scsihw virtio-scsi-pci — scsi0 local-vms:vm-114-disk-0
</code></pre>
vm-114-disk-0 is the name of the virtual machine disk after import
6 — Add a virtual serial port to the VM to be able to connect from the command line
<pre><code class="lang-bash">qm set 114 -serial0 socket
</code></pre>
7 — Start the virtual machine
<pre><code class="lang-bash">qm start 114
</code></pre>
