How to use a .qcow file from a previous virtual machine on QubesOS

Hello folks!

On my previous machine I used a virtual machine with Fedora.

Recently I started using QubesOS but I imported the.qcow file from my old KVM to use on a Qube but without success.

Does anyone know how do I get my old virtual machine running on QubesOS?

It’s similar to converting VirtualBox VMs. Essentially, extract raw data and import it.

In case you’re already there, see logs in /var/log/xen/console/ (in dom0)

What is the format of your file? (Check file format: qemu-img info <file>)
Could you share the command you used and the error message, if any?
