I am still struggling with virt v2v to try to import a .ova file into my ov=
irt domain.

I have a fedora 18 manager and fedora 18 node.  I installed virt-v2v on the=
 manager using yum.  Based on what I google, when you issue the command vir=
t-v2v -list-profiles you probably should not get:

[root@ovirtmgr home]# virt-v2v --list-profiles
Defined target profiles:

(nothing).

I see several profiles listed in the /etc/virt-v2v.conf file, they don't se=
em to be recognized even if I -f /etc/virt-v2v.conf in my commands as well.=
   If I go ahead and blindly attempt to import it anyway, I get an error li=
ke this:

[root@ovirtmgr home]# virt-v2v -i ova -osd 10.3.2.150:/opt/export --network=
 ovirtmgmt ws08-srv-3.ova
virt-v2v: Failed to connect to qemu:///system: libvirt error code: 38, mess=
age: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such f=
ile or directory

there is no libvirt on the manager whatsoever, so im not sure where to go o=
r even what direction im facing here.

Can someone straighten me out and get me back on the right path ?

Thanks,
jonathan
