Anyway I read it the first time, and I've just scanned through it again. I think it would be nice if the page talked about exactly what virt-v2v command line(s) you are going to run. In particular we support several sources. See the '-i' options here: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html Each source has slight quirks, so you'll need to take that into account in the UI. To give you just one example: RHEL 5 Xen import needs an ssh-agent, username, server name, optional port, and guest name -- I don't think you've taken in to account any of those.

The second thing is P2V, which is (or can be) directed from the physical machine. It needs a virt-v2v instance to talk to, and I guess that rules out vdsm. Lots more on this topic in the manual page (especially the 1.27.56 man page which is *not* online yet, so please consult the man page in the brew package for now).
