Hello,
I’m running 4.3.5.4-1.el7. I’ve exported a VM as OVA and now
I’m trying to import it in another Data Center (it’s like a DR Data Center)
Import runs successfully both from GUI and from
Ansible, but imported VM disks are empty and the VM fails to boot.
How can I import disks content too?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Paolo

Can this be a bug of this version?

I have the same issue, it seems, but AFAIK the problem is on the export side:
While the OVA logical file size matches the size of the VM's disk, the actual storage
usage on the VDO compressed and deduplicated NFS I use as export target per 'du -h
*.ova' is a mere 28KB, while 'strings <vm-name>.ova' reports an XML
header and then nothing but zeros.
I sure hope it's easy to fix and not an "we don't support importing oVirt OVA
exports..."
