The simplest way is to upload the qcow2 images to oVirt, and create a new VM with the new disk. On the hypervisor where the files are located, install the required packages: dnf install ovirt-imageio-client python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4 And upload the image: python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/upload_disk.py \ --engine-url https://my.engine/ \ --username admin@internal \ --password-file /path/to/password/file \ --cafile /path/to/cafile \ --sd-name my-storage-domain \ --disk-sparse \ /path/to/image.qcow2 This will upload the file in qcow2 format to whatever type of storage you have. You can change the format if you like using --disk-format. See --help for all the options. We also support importing from libvirt, but for this you need to have the vm defined in libvirt. If you don't have this, It will probably be easier to upload the images and create a new vm in oVirt. Nir
