Many ways to accomplish such a thing, this is what I personnaly did:
* Make the virtio modules available at kernel boot
o mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with virtio_blk --with virtio_scsi
-f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
* boot on a rescue live centos with network enabled
* mount a (NFS) share
* dd if=/dev/sdX of=/mnt/share/os.img
* upload your disk with UI/API to ovirt
* manually define your vm by attaching this disk
This is what does virt-p2v under ther cover, but you do it it by your own.
