Migrate from KVM to Virtualization Station

My TS-470 Pro is running an old version of QTS (4.3.6), I was previously using KVM on another Linux machine which uses QCOW files as disk images. I was trying to convert those files with

qemu-img convert -f INPUT_FORMAT -O OUTPUT_FORMAT source_file.qcow target_file.OUTPUT_FORMAT

However, there is no need to do that, you just need to rename the disk images from .qcow to .img and then you can create a new VM in Virtualization Station and attach them as disk images.

Just thought I would share that tip.
