can do this
using SCP
or the
Proxmox
web GUI. If you use the Proxmox web GUI you will need to rename
the OVA to end in a iso extension and upload it as a ISO
image content. Depending on the size of the OVA file and the
bandwidth you have available, it may take a while to upload the file.
The file will then be available in the dump folder in the selected
storage.

SSH onto your Proxmox server and locate the OVA file. An OVA file
is simply a tar file containing an image file and some configuration for
things like CPU, RAM, etc. Run the tar command to extract the
components of the OVA file onto your file system.
1 tar - my.ovf

We now need to get the image into a VM with some hardware so that
we can begin to use it. This is where things get tricky the OVF file is

You should be able to get a rough idea of the requirements for the
KVM. In the Proxmox web GUI, click on Create VM and create a VM
which meets the requirements of the image you converted. Make
sure that you select qcow2 for the disk format. After

Copy the previously converted qcow2 image over the existing image
be sure to overwrite the existing image otherwise your image will
not be used and KVM will try to start with a blank, empty image.
1 mv /tmp/myvm-disk1.qcow2
/var/lib/vz/image/101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2

Thats it you can now start up the image from the Proxmox web
GUI.
