Hi,

  I downloaded an OVA image from OpenVAS but I can't import it into ovirt, any suggestions ?

engine-image-uploader -e Export upload /tmp/OpenVAS-8-DEMO-1.0.ova
WARNING: ovirt-image-uploader is deprecated in 4.0 and will be removed in 4.1
Please provide the REST API password for the admin@internal oVirt Engine user (CTRL+D to abort):

Unfortunately, OVA is a generic term describing a container for a VM/group of VMs definitions but it is implemented in different ways.

From OpenVAS website it seems their OVA format is for Virtualbox >= 4.3... correct?

You could try to export the disk file/s with VirtualBox command line tool VBoxManage (never tried myself):

Or eventually follow what described in this thread, that implies to import the OVA into a VirtualBox environment and then re-export it for oVirt with the steps described:
