I'm trying to import an ovf file but I keep getting an error that my storage ID contains illegal characters.

Code:
root@proxmox:/tmp/remnux-v7-focal# qm importovf 165 remnux-v7-focal.ovf /mnt/data/storage/images/ --format=raw
400 Parameter verification failed.
storage: invalid format - storage ID '/mnt/data/storage/images/' contains illegal characters

qm importovf <vmid> <manifest> <storage> [OPTIONS]
 
Thank you. I thought I needed the location not the name.
easy mistake to make. "import disk" wants local path to source disk and PVE storage object for target. As pointed out earlier in the week by PVE stuff - this command is being worked on to bring it to API fold.
