Hi Sean, For virt-v2v compilation issue you can ask at libguestfs(a)redhat.com mailing list. > > Frankly, I am at the point of throwing in the towel but I'm hoping someone > can offer advise or insight on obtaining the tool through other means.

Upstream ovirt git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine have support for importing OVA files that was exported from vShpere 5.5 and 6.0 as well as connecting to a running esxi listing and importing the VMs that are in down state. The OVA file must be accessed by the importing host with permissions 36:36(NFS mount will work as well). To access the import VMs feature simply go to the VMs tab and click on the import button there you will be able to select the import source (VMware/OVA etc). More information about virt-v2v integration with oVirt can be found in its feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration Shahar. > > Thank you in advance for any support offered. > > Sean. > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
