I remember not so much time ago that VMware generated OVA format was NOT
compatible for import into oVirt/RHEV....
see for example this thread:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-August/027059.html
Oh, I didn't recall that a few minutes ago.
Did anything change in the mean time and is perhaps the new virt-v2v
available with ova functionality in it?
AFAIK the new virt-v2v is still not supporting OVAs.
That means, we need to create the ovas ourselfs using some script (like the one above).
