So the "-o rhev" should not be used in that case because then virt-v2v
assumes the target is an export domain and tries to mount it as NFS.
If this has to be done via the command line then the flag that needs to be
used in virt-v2v is "-o vdsm" but it requires you to create the images and
mount them to the host that the conversion is executed on by yourself + to
execute virt-v2v with vdsm's permissions - which is complicated. That is
why this option was not intended for invocation by users from the command
line (but to be used by vdsm), however, that's possible.
It would be simpler to use the REST-API based clients in that case.
