Creating Virtual Machines

Dear HPE Team.

When I try to create a virtual machine from an “ISO” image, I get an error message saying that the image is not in qcow2 format and cannot create the virtual machine.

If the datastore is NFS, is there any limitation such as not being able to create a virtual machine from an “ISO” image?

Re: Creating Virtual Machines

Dear HPE Team, I'm getting an error stating my ISO image isn't in qcow2 format when trying to create a VM. Firstly, is qcow2 a mandatory format for VM creation? Secondly, are there any limitations when using an NFS datastore that would prevent creating VMs from ISO images? Any guidance on resolving this would be appreciated. Thank you.
