In this article, I would like to show you guys how to import Virtualbox or VMware machines into `Proxmox visualization 5`. First of all, for this article, I am going to pick one of `Vulnhub's machines` which is `Breach2` by the awesome guy `@mrb3n` Find it at Link.
After downloading the VM machine, extract it and make sure it has OVA file. In my example, the file exists under name 'Breach-2_final2.1.ova'

yas3r@localhost:~/Downloads/Breach2$Next, we need to extract OVA file in order to get the disk image using GNU tar command as the following:
yas3r@localhost:~/Downloads/Breach2$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 yas3r yas3r 1138 Aug 19 2016 readme.txtThen, It's the time to copy the disk image to `Proxmox`. Use your favorite method to copy it. For me, I will be using `scp` command.
yas3r@localhost:~/Downloads/Breach2$ scp -i ~/pve_id_rsa.priv Breach-2__final1.1-disk1.vmdk root@pve:/root/Next, Login to Proxmox console, create a new Proxmox’s machine as the following:
root@pve:~# qm create 160 -net0 e1000,bridge=vmbr0 -name Breach2 -memory 1024 -bootdisk sata0Where `qm` is the main command to manage the virtual machines on `Proxmox`. The following option is `create` to create a new one, and the network card that connects to virtual connection `vmbr0`. Then, Setting the name and the amount of RAM to the machine. To make sure that we have successfully created it, execute the following command:
root@pve:~# qm list
VMID NAME STATUS MEM(MB) BOOTDISK(GB) PID
106 Noname stopped 2048 32.00 0
107 MailServer stopped 1024 1.00 0
108 Jail stopped 1024 32.00 0
109 Firewall stopped 1024 10.00 0
`160 Breach2 stopped 1024 0.00 0`
200 kali stopped 4096 32.00 0
222 Win10 stopped 4096 25.00 0
901 Router stopped 1024 4.00 0
999 Nineveh stopped 1024 5.00 0
root@pve:~# Now, We have to import the Breach's disk to the created machine which has id `160`
root@pve:~#
root@pve:~# qm importdisk 160 "Breach-2__final1.1-disk1.vmdk" local-lvm
Using default stripesize 64.00 KiB.
Logical volume "vm-160-disk-1" created.
(100.00/100%)
root@pve:~# So, we have imported the disk into the machine that has ID=160 using `importdisk` option.
Finally, login to Promxmox's control panel or you can also do it using the console, but for this article, I will show using the control panel.
Click on the created machine `Breach2` from the virtual machine's menu, and select the hardware option. Select `Unused Disk0` and make sure that the device is `SATA` and select `Add`.
