What are you currently unable to do

Once #1905 is implemented, we should add support to incus-migrate to import OVA files (OVF images).

This should be an option supported alongside traditional instance or volume import and if selected, will have incus-migrate read through the structure of the .OVA file (tarball) to then determine how to proceed with the migration.

Typically that will mean extracting the OVA, converting the individual VMDK formatted disks to raw images, then importing any additional disk as custom block volumes while then importing the primary disk as a new instance. Then attaching the extra disks to it and trying to respect as many of the properties from the OVF metadata as possible when creating the target VM.
