<p dir="ltr">I was able to move my vms from virtualbox running on win7 to ovirt.<br>
The steps are following:<br>
1)Export virtualbox vm to raw format.<br>
2) upload it to export domain in ovirt<br>
3) clone new vm from (2) setup hw as you need.<br>
I didnot try for windows guests, but debian an rh guests are moved without trouble.<br>

Let alone there is much less overhead if the machine specs is not that great and there are no other hosts available<br>
<br>
Either way, importing KVM/libvirt VMs are currently a bit cumbersome (3.6 supports v2v from VMware only), but doable with few workarounds, and it’s certainly safer than VMware or VirtuaBox<br>
