I just use the virt-p2v ISO to boot on the machine to be converted and them fire the conversion.

You do need a VM running with virt-v2v inside oVirt to talk with the virt-p2v ISO and do the conversion.

For converting my Debian boxes I do this. It is nothing fancy. Things you would do with plain physical systems as well.

I have a VM for preparing VM images where I attach newly created disks, rsyncing all data from old host to the new image. 

Then I shut down the preparation VM, remove the new disk from it.

Create a new VM and attach the disk to that VM.

I boot a rescue CD, fix /etc/fstab and networking, Re-Install grub to the disk.

Done.
