To make a virtual machine from the underlying vSphere infrastructure available to your vCloud Director server, you can import it and save it as a vApp.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are connected to a vCloud Director server as a provider administrator.
Verify that you are connected to a vCenter Server system.

Procedure

Retrieve the vSphere virtual machine that you want to import.
```
$myVm = Get-VM -Name 'MyVMToImport'
```
Retrieve the organization vDC to which you want to import the virtual machine.
```
$myOrgVdc = Get-OrgVdc -Name 'MyOrgVdc'
```
Import the virtual machine and store it as a vApp.
```
Import-CIVApp -VM $myVm -OrgVdc $myOrgVdc
```
