On trying the import in ovirt after the completion of the conversion using -o rhev -os <ip>:/var/lib/exports/exports ..., I found an error in the vdsm.log:

I have setenforce=0 with same result.

So the 5eb89069-b750-4d32-b7d3-432fd77202d1 is a valid ovirt domain number for the entire process in exports. The 1e43cdf3-bf3b-4f28-a755-b5fb8a67543b was the name of the dir created from the virt-v2v process.

The ovirt import gui provides this error:
Error while executing action: Cannot import VM. VM's Image does not exist.

I've tried with a qcow2 image, a raw image, vmdk (fails with unsupported format error).

I need to convert a vmdk to ovirt use. I have a qcow2 formatted image and it's corresponding xml. I'm trying to run virt-v2v to put things into the proper formats/places for ovirt but I need to use my proper credentials to access the qemu:///system space.

Where/how do I do this? man pages have no suggestions on virt-v2v. I have a user/passwd combo in saslauth that works for virsh.

virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -o libvirt -os export --vmtype server -n ovirtmgmt /var/lib/exports/exports/5eb89069-b750-4d32-b7d3-432fd77202d1/images/test/test.xml
