to get the path to the old Vm right, easiest to drag and drop the vmx file into the terminal 

Note: Most images for this process can be found at: https://www.itsfullofstars.de/2019/07/import-ova-as-proxmox-vm/

In Proxmox:

1. Create a VM

   1. Hit Create VM button

   2. Under General Tab take note of VM ID

   3. Hit Next

   4. Under OS Tab select "Do not use any media"

   5. Under OS Tab ensure correct Guest OS is selected

   6. Hit Next

   7. Under System Tab leave all default

   8. Hit Next

   9. Under Hard Disk Tab leave all default

   10. Hit Next

   11. Under CPU Tab select how many cores to dedicate (2)

   12. Under CPU Tab change CPU type to "host"

   13. Hit Next

   14. Under Memory Tab select amount of RAM (2048)

   15. Hit Next

   16. Under Network Tab leave all default

   17. Hit Next

   18. Under Confirm Tab review selections

   19. Hit Finish

2. Delete associated disk

   1. Under Datacenter/pve select the newly created VM (VM ID noted earlier)

   2. Under Hardware highlight Hard Disk (scsi0)

   3. Hit the Detach Button

   4. Hard Disk (scsi0) will change to Unused Disk 0

   5. Select Unused Disk 0

   6. Hit the Remove Button

3. Import .vmdk

   1. Host Machine: Change file extension of VM to import from .vmdk to .iso

   2. Proxmox GUI: Under Datacenter/pve select ISOs (pve)

   3. Select Content Tab

   4. Hit the Upload Button

   5. Choose the VM to import

   6. Hit Upload

   7. Host Machine: Use Terminal/Secure Connection to ssh into Proxmox server

   8. type cd /mnt/pve/ISOs/template/iso/

   9. type cp vm_to_import.iso vm_to_import.vmdk

   10. type qm importdisk (VM ID) (vm_to_import.vmdk) VMs1 -format qcow2

   11. Note: The VM ID comes from the one noted at the beginning of this process, the vm_to_import.vmdk is exactly that, and VMs1 is the storage device in Proxmox allocated for running Vms.

   12. Once completed without errors type rm vm_to_import.*

4. Convert and Assign .vmdk to VM

   1. Proxmox GUI: Under Datacenter/pve select the same VM (VM ID noted earlier)

   2. Under Hardware highlight Unused Disk 0

   3. Hit the Edit Button

   4. Defaults should be fine. Change to IDE if problems arise.

   5. Hit Add

5. New VM should be operational.

How to convert various forms of VM to .vmdk: 

.vmdk - No action needed. This is the format we want to dump into Proxmox.

.ova - 

1. Change file extension from .ova to .zip

2. Extract files.

3. .vmdk file is one of three files extracted.

4. Note: .ovf file contains system requirements information you can use to match the VM you create in Proxmox with whatever the VM to migrate had before.

warevm - VMWare Fusion does not have a GUI means of completing this task.

1. Open terminal on Mac

2. Note: Spaces must be escaped with a back-slash.

3. type cd /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/VMware\ OVF\ Tool/

4. Note: For the next step, to get the file path right, right click on the .vmwarevm file and select "View Package Contents", the drag and drop the .vmx file into the terminal.

5. type ./ovftool /Users/kennethgareis/Virtual\ Machines.localized/Ubuntu\ 64-bit\ 18.04.4.vmwarevm/Ubuntu\ 64-bit\ 18.04.4.vmx /Users/kennethgareis/Desktop/ubuntutest.ova

.VHD - Use WinImage on a Windows machine to convert format.
