October 23, 20205 yr I tried out Proxmox some while ago and created several great working VMs (OSX, WIN, SYNOLOGY) that I would like to be able to import UNRAID which suits much better my needs. Can that be done? Is there any importer tool? Both use KVM but I am not sure if VM config files are compatible.
October 23, 20205 yr from what i remember i had to rebuild my vms when i switched from proxmox to unraid. Unraid takes raw (img) and qcow2 vdisk files. If you have vmdk you have to convert it with qemu-img.

October 23, 20205 yr no but i didn't lost data. I had to make several tries because i forgot to save vm definition files You have to rebuild the same vm. In the end i managed to succeed. I had several debian vm and 1 win8 but no macos (these ones are tricky).

Worked only once.

Just don't make any changes in the GUI editor, it'll blow away your manual edits.

I guess that's the problem why I screed up the OSX VMs. Is there any smart way to move the Proxmox VM config.file over to Unraid XML?
