Hi - 

 

I am trying to migrate a VM away from Unraid. I have copied the vdisk file already to the remote host (Debian12), but can't get the QEMU working on it. 

 

That's what i tried so far, but it either hangs there, or it says "Booting from Hard drive.." 

# qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -machine type=pc-q35-7.2,accel=kvm \
  -cpu host,topoext \
  -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 \
  -m 2G \
  -drive file=~/machine_image.vdisk,format=raw,if=virtio \
  -boot order=c \
  -enable-kvm \
  -nographic \
  -bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd \
  -serial mon:stdio \
  -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_VARS.fd

 

Is there a guide for this maybe or someone that knows how to do it? 

 

Cheers.

In the log it will show the qemu full command. You may need the nvram files etc.

in ps output i see a huge command with lots of clutter and a bunch of JSON objects attached. I would need the simplest version of it to just launch a VM and boot from the vdisk.
