==== From an existing disk image ====
Create a VM from the cli or web as above, no need to start it. Then delete it's disk from the hardware config.
Then follow this: http://dae.me/blog/2340/how-to-add-an-existing-virtual-disk-to-proxmox/
If the old vm image is stored on ZFS then you'll need to set the disk cache used by proxmox to `writeback`
Once the disk appears in the proxmox UI you can add it to the vm and activate it (? Can't quite remember how I did it, but the cache thing is the main thing to know)
