# Import-PveOva

## SYNOPSIS
Imports an OVA file into a Proxmox VE virtual machine.

## SYNTAX

```
Import-PveOva [-Node] <String> [-Storage] <String> [-Path] <String> -TargetStorage <String> [-VmId <Int32>]
 [-Name <String>] [-Memory <Int32>] [-Cores <Int32>] [-Wait] [-Session <PveSession>]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION
Imports an OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) archive into Proxmox VE by parsing the embedded OVF descriptor, uploading the OVA, creating a new VM, and importing each disk. Use -Name, -Memory, or -Cores to override values from the OVF. Use -Wait to block until all import tasks complete.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1
```powershell
PS C:\> Import-PveOva -Node "pve1" -Storage "local" -Path "C:\VMs\appliance.ova" -TargetStorage "local-lvm" -Wait
```

Imports an OVA file into a new VM on node pve1.
