# Import

```markdown-highlight
qm importdisk <vmid> yourimage.qcow2 namestoragepool
```

Ein Beispiel aus der realen Welt könnte also sein wie ...

```markdown-highlight
qm importdisk 101 fileserver.qcow2 local-lvm
```

**UnZip:**

apt-get install unzip

**Konvertieren:**

```
qemu-img convert -f vmdk openmanage_enterprise.x86_64-0.0.1-disk1.vmdk -O qcow2 OpenManageEntreprise-3-1.qcow2
```

Is the image a single .vmdk file? Generally, you can import .vmdk files directly into Proxmox VE virtual machine with a few steps.

- Create a virtual machine in Proxmox VE
- Remove the disk that the wizard creates. You should now have zero disks for the virtual machine.
- Use `qm importdisk <vmid> <your_vmdk_image> <a_pve_storage>` to import the disk image. In the hardware view of your VM it should now show up as unassigned disk.
- Double click the unassigned disk to make it usable. While SCSI is faster, try IDE or SATA if your image does not boot
