prl_convert --allow-no-os

Hello,
I tried to use prl_convert --allow-no-os command on a virtual disk (Ubuntu 20.04) created by virtualbox but the console responds with the message "The source virtual disk contains no operating system."
How can I import the virtual disk on parallels?
Thanks

 

Hello.
Thank you for your feedback.
If you want to convert only the disk of the original virtual machine, run the command below:

prl_convert /Users/somebody/Downloads/Test/Test.vmdk --dst=/Users/somebody/Parallels/Test.hdd --allow-no-os --stand-alone-disk

(Example: /Users/pavel/Downloads/VirtualBox/Ubuntu.vmdk --dst=/Users/pavel/Parallels/Ubuntu.hdd --allow-no-os --stand-alone-disk)

If the issue still persists, please take a screenshot of the command and send back.

 

Hi @Pavel Merkulov, I'm able to get a .hdd file using the above command. How can I use it to create a parallels machine?

The source third-party virtual disk was successfully converted to a Parallels virtual disk stored in /Users/[...]/Labs/SEED Labs/SEED-Ubuntu20.04/./seed.hdd.

I'm trying to emulate this setup on virtualbox: https://github.com/seed-labs/seed-labs/blob/master/manuals/vm/seedvm-manual.md
