SonicOS 8 NSv Getting Started Guide for Proxmox

Importing NSv Disk Image

Use the Proxmox shell to import the NSv image disk.

Command Syntax:

qm importdisk <VM-id> <NSv image location> <storage name>

Example:

qm importdisk 101 sw_nsv_-kvm.8.0.0-8026-R6526.wic.qcow2 local-lvm

The Import Disk to VM operation must be executed by the root user from the Proxmox shell. When the command was run using a non‑root user account—even with full administrative permissions—the qm command was not recognized. Logging in to the shell as the root user allowed the command to execute successfully.
