Import VirtualBox OVA

[rolven]

Hello,
I have a problem with very essential task - importing VM from Virtual Box to Proxmox.

• I exported various versions of OVA (0.9, 1.0, 2.0) from latest version of VirtualBox 7.0.14 on windows .
• Then I loaded them into latest version of proxmox 8.1.3. and unTar them
• and run the import (e.g. OVA v. 1.0)

qm importovf 100 "Ubuntu64-1.0.ovf" local-lvm

But I got following error

error during import, cleaning up created resources...
import failed - unable to parse value of 'memory' - type check ('integer') failed - got ''

My OVF example

<CPU>
          <PAE enabled="false"/>
          <LongMode enabled="true"/>
          <X2APIC enabled="true"/>
          <HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="true"/>
        </CPU>
        <Memory RAMSize="1024"/>

In this thread https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/import-vm-with-ovf-error.122573/ you suggest to fix it like this

<CPU>
          <PAE enabled="false"/>
          <LongMode enabled="true"/>
          <X2APIC enabled="true"/>
          <HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="true"/>
        </CPU>
        <Memory RAMSize="1024" unit="MB"/>

It help, but it give another error message.

error during import, cleaning up created resources...
import failed - unable to parse value of 'cores' - type check ('integer') failed - got ''

If I fix the CPU and Memory

<CPU count="4" cores="4">
          <PAE enabled="false"/>
          <LongMode enabled="true"/>
          <X2APIC enabled="true"/>
          <HardwareVirtExLargePages enabled="true"/>
        </CPU>
        <Memory RAMSize="1024" unit="MB"/>

It bring back the memory error

error during import, cleaning up created resources...
import failed - unable to parse value of 'memory' - type check ('integer') failed - got ''

I think this is basic and common task so it is very frustrating that It is buggy. Please could you help me to solve this problem.

Thank you
