I've just tested this series with the following images: + GNS3 with VMware ESXi image from https://www.gns3.com/software/download-vm, unzipped and uploaded to local dir storage. + Ubuntu Noble from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/noble/current/noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.ova, downloaded straight through the 'Download from URL' button.
GNS3 imports nicely and runs. Cannot really tell about noble -- it imports nicely but will get stuck during startup with default settings (~btrfs loaded, zoned=yes, fsverity=yes~). Fiddling with hardware settings tends to let it boot, but I haven't yet managed to provide it with a username and password that I'd know. Best, Daniel Things that I've encountered: + Download from URL does not support zipped images. + If I use a root-mounted nfs share as extraction storage, I yield a (not having a clue where the chown comes from): ------------------------------------------------------------ extracting local:import/GNS3_VM.ova/GNS3_VM-disk1.vmdk tar: GNS3_VM-disk1.vmdk: Cannot change ownership to uid 64, gid 64: Operation not permitted tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 112 - error during extraction: command 'tar -x --force-local \ -C /mnt/pve/nfs/images/112/tmp_3017_112 -f /var/lib/vz/import/GNS3_VM.ova GNS3_VM-disk1.vmdk' failed: exit code 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ + Although I understand the purpose, it did not feel very 'natural' having to add the 'disk image' storage type to the local directory with the .ova-file for a successful import. _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list pve-devel@lists.proxmox.com https://lists.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
