withdrew support for importing image files directly, because it
didn't
always work.

No. I had a gluster + sanlock problem take out my ovirt cluster (2 hosts),
and I only have it partially back up. My dozen VMs are currently available
only when my (dual boot) hardware isn't running oVirt. Or, to put it the
other way, I can only run oVirt when I can take down the VMWare group,
because I don't have spare hardware. Working on rebuilding one VM in KVM
today (VMWare copy had a problem).
The only way I have heard succeed is to use ESX/ESXi or the "hollow pig"
method. Create a VM in ovirt, including the hard drive. Replace hard drive
file with file from VMWare (or otherwise get data into file). Fiddle with
VM hardware & settings until it runs.
