<p class="MsoNormal">I haven't had any luck using the oVirt GUI or virt-v2v (see earlier email), and I need to find a way to migrate quite a few Windows hosts (Windows 7, 2012, 2008, 2k3 etc) into my test oVirt cluster as a PoC so I can make a compelling case
for getting rid of VMware. Using OVF files looks like a lot more manual work as compared to the GUI or virt-v2v, with their nice conversion features.<u></u><u></u></p>
