Convert QCOW2 to instance

I have a QCOW2 image in a datastore; is there any command that can quickly import it into VME? The only way I know is through Provisioning - Virtual Images and then deploying an instance.

Re: Convert QCOW2 to instance

In HPE VM Essentials (VME), there is no single CLI command like import to bypass the UI; however, you can use the Morpheus CLI to automate the process. By using the command morpheus virtual-images add, you can register the existing QCOW2 file from your datastore as a Virtual Image resource, which then makes it available for rapid deployment.

I can't find how to access Morpheus-CLI in VME. I understand that the command you mentioned is only valid for Morpheus and not for VME.
