https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/convert-qcow2-to-instance/m-p/7260678#M1694 <P>In HPE VM Essentials (VME), there is no single CLI command like import to bypass the UI; however, you can use the Morpheus CLI to automate the process. By using the command morpheus virtual-images add, you can register the existing QCOW2 file from your datastore as a Virtual Image resource, which then makes it available for rapid deployment.</P> Wed, 21 Jan 2026 09:08:44 GMT maritn78uuujje 2026-01-21T09:08:44Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/convert-qcow2-to-instance/m-p/7260601#M1691 <P>I have a QCOW2 image in a datastore; is there any command that can quickly import it into VME? The only way I know is through Provisioning - Virtual Images and then deploying an instance.</P> Thu, 08 Jan 2026 09:16:24 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/convert-qcow2-to-instance/m-p/7260601#M1691 hlago 2026-01-08T09:16:24Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/convert-qcow2-to-instance/m-p/7260678#M1694 <P>In HPE VM Essentials (VME), there is no single CLI command like import to bypass the UI; however, you can use the Morpheus CLI to automate the process.

I understand that the command you mentioned is only valid for Morpheus and not for VME.</P> Mon, 12 Jan 2026 06:55:44 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/convert-qcow2-to-instance/m-p/7260685#M1696 hlago 2026-01-12T06:55:44Z
