</span>What you are trying to do is as far as I understand is to use virt-v2v utility<br>
to put the ova in export domain, there may be something wrong between the<br>
virt-v2v output ovf and the oVirt engine.<br>
You can try the new feature to import ova strait on oVirt admin portal (if you<br>
already try that the forget it), go to the vms tab -> import and select<br>
"vmware ova" from the select box...<br>
