Image folder names and hdd names is taken accordingly to qemu image naming table.

you can use ls command to check available files in folder and to move to any folder use cd foldername command
cd Check_Point_SG_R77.30_VE_NM
/opt/qemu/bin/qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 Check_Point_SG_R77.30_VE-disk1.vmdk hda.qcow2
6. Copy converted image HDD to target folder:
mv hda.qcow2 /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/cpsg-R77-30/hda.qcow2
7. Delete temporary folder:
cd ..
cd ..
rm -rf abc
