Create a VM from a raw file - Proxmox

Souad picture Souad · Feb 16, 2016 · Viewed 9.3k times · Source

I have Proxmox environment where I create my virtual machines. I want to install the product Citrix Netscaler VPX Platinium. I downloaded the product and put it in the content of my server storage:

enter image description here

The file is stored as well in tgz format into the foler /usr/src of my server. My question is : How to create a new VM from this file ? I only know how to create it from an ISO so ..

For example, when I click on Create new VM button it only gives to choose an Iso file, not a raw one.

enter image description here

Thank you for your help.
