Add USB Disk to VM

# lsusb
qm set 125 -usb0 host=059b:047b

Convert vmdk to qcow2; Stop the VM.

qemu-img convert -f vmdk /mnt/usb/windows-server/windows-server.vmdk -O qcow2 /var/lib/vz/images/100/windows-server.qcow2

Convert raw to qcow2; Stop the VM.

qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 /mnt/pve/TCFNFSIMG/images/122/vm-122-disk-1.raw /mnt/pve/TCFNFSIMG/images/122/vm-122-disk-1.qcow2

Once the conversion is complete, we need to edit the conf file for the VM.

nano /etc/pve/local/qemu-server/100.conf

In the line with ide0: we want to change vm-100-disk-1.raw,size=32G to windows-server.qcow2

You may delete the empty disk created by proxmox when you created the VM.

rm /var/lib/vz/images/100/vm-100-disk-1.raw

Start the VM and open the console. Windows should boot up normally. It’ll take a few minutes to detect the hardware changes. If the Windows system had a static IP address, you'll have to reconfigure the settings.

Delete moved VM .conf

root@tcfprox3:/etc/pve/qemu-server# rm 129.conf
