Converting disk to vm using qemu-img convert

I have had plenty of success doing this procedure in conjunction with the unassigned drive plugin and the drive physically plugged into the unraid server.

 

My question is, is it possible to do this procedure by connecting the source disk as a SMB share?

eg leave the disk in the original machine and connect via "Add Remote SMB"

 

If possible, what would be the syntax of the qemu-img convert command for the source?

 

I second guessed "qemu-img convert -p -O raw /mnt/remote/name of share ....blah blah

But it did not recognise the source.
