example.sh

# Mount the storage or CD to a USB disk
cd ./storage

# Create the VM to import to
# we are assuming id of 1100
VMID=1100
qm create "${VMID}" \
--name "Imported VM" \
--memory 1024 \
--cores 4

# Import the virtual disk, assuming its a supported format
virtualDiskName="diskname.vhdx"
storageID="Pool01" # Name of the storage to use, example here would be a CephFS pool
qm importdisk "${VMID}" "${virtualDiskName}" "${storageID}"

# Set the newly imported disk to ide0 and ensure its selected as first boot device
qm set "${VMID}" --ide0 "${storageID}:vm-${VMID}-disk-0"
qm set "${VMID}" --boot c --bootdisk ide0

# We are done now, view the newly imported vm in the webpanel
