the vmware tools and have installled the various virtio

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>

Wrote this awhile back as a quick qcow to ovf implementation to
import into ovirt-engine/rhevm. There are newer options but this
does the job really quick. Will wrap the qcow image into an exploded
ova structure or zipped. You can then import it directly into engine
with engine-image-uploader.<br>
