used 'qemu-img' to convirt this VMDK file to QCOW2. It does

I have not found a way to import qcow2 disk into oVirt.<br>
<br>
The last time I needed to import a qcow2 disk to oVirt I created a
vm in a kvm server (my pc..) with virt-manager, then I added the
qcow disk, and booted the vm with clonezilla. Then I created a VM in
oVirt, provisioned with similar disks and booted also with
clonezilla. Then I cloned from kvm to oVirt. After I deleted the
native kvm vm and disks. In this way I bypassed all the import,
export, ova compatibility, virt2virt, etc.<br>
<br>
Simple and practical<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
