are you sure you are not trying to add a VM with an existing UUID (or did not pass a UUID)?

Thanks for your help.

I tried the import with a minimal OVF file as described by
Shahar and it
worked, but failed on activate.

This time I have a constraint violation on pk_vm_static, which means
that ovirt-engine doesn't create a vm_guid if it isn't here. I guess
it's the same for a lot of parameters.

that's sounds like a new bug.
please send stack trace (which will also help telling where to look).

To move forward, I'm going to create "shadow" VMs on ovirt-engine,
export them and import my "real" libvirt/KVM VMs with the
exported OVF
files. Makes sense?

Where should I look in the source tree if I want to (try to)
actually
help with the restore code for imported VMs?

you will need the header: the <Reference> tag the <Content>
tag with the
<Section> items: <System> and <item>s cpu and memory, all other
devices can be
