Import OVA via vSphere CLI?

Hi Everyone -

Does anyone know whether there's a vSphere CLI to import an OVA?  Unfortunately, I cannot use VI client, OVFTool, or another other remote tools.  My import must be done within the command line of vSphere. 

Thanks for the help.

No, you will need to use either vSphere Client or ovftool remotely.
