hi guys, i just want to ask if you can just upload an .OVA file to ovirt just like uploading ISO?
without setting up virt-v2v and export domain?

thanks

Put the OVA file on one of your hypervisors in a certain path
Go to Web Admin Gui --> Compute --> Virtual Machines
Select the three vertical dots at top right (near the "Migrate" button) and "Import"
Select "Virtual Appliance (OVA)" as source and choose the host and File Path where you previously put the OVA
select the VMs to import using the horizontal arrows

In theory it should be supported oVirt as internal format and only vSphere as external format of OVA.
But as far as your OVA complies with what oVirt expects, it could work too.

Yeah.

I'd say that with vSphere-compliant OVAs one needs to do the above mentioned steps because we have to invoke virt-v2v (btw, there's no need for an export domain).

But if you have an OVA that was produced by oVirt at hand, you can alternatively upload it as the following script does:
