The first step in a VMware-to-Proxmox migration should not be qemu-img convert.
It should be an inventory.
Before touching production, document:
VM CPU and memory
storage dependencies
VLANs and port groups
boot mode
virtual controllers
application dependencies
backup state
RPO/RTO
rollback requirements
Proxmox provides an integrated VMware ESXi import wizard, which maps much of the source VM configuration into Proxmox VE.
But tooling does not eliminate architectural work.
The target still needs:
compute sizing
storage design
cluster/quorum strategy
networking
HA capacity
backup
monitoring
A successful hypervisor migration is mostly preparation and validation.
