Error No Harddisk Converting Virtual Box VM to Parallels

I tried following the steps in this knowledge base, but when I open the .vbox file it gives me an error that there is no disk image.

I'm running Virtual Box 6.1 and Parallels Desktop 16 or Mac. Host OS is Catalina 10.15.7 and guest is Ubuntu 18.04.
Any ideas?

 

Hello, Please refer to the knowledge base article to Converting Virtual Box virtual machine to Parallels Desktop. Thanks.

 

I think maybe you did not read my original post in which I linked the same knowledge base article.

 

Hello pcpro178, Please refer to the knowledge base article to Converting Virtual Box virtual machine to Parallels Desktop. Thanks.

 

My virtual machine was neither running, suspended or hibernated. It was fully shut down when I attempted to migrate it. The error I get, "This virtual machine has no hard disk," is not shown in the knowledge base article that you referenced.

 

I am running into the same problem as you with Parallels 17. Did you ever manage to solve this?

 

I converted the VirtualBox VM to OVA format and then used ovftool to convert it to a VMWare VM. I got the same error when I tried to import that into Parallels.

 

I was able to use the command line to convert a virtual box VDI image (https://kb.parallels.com/112419). Although the article mentions VMware specifically, it also works on VirtualBox disk images:
/Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_convert /path/to/virtualbox/virtualmachine/disk.vdi --no-src-check --no-reconfig
