I believe you are partially right? Originally it was an OVA file. I
uncompressed the file which gave me another file and the vm.ovf. The OVF

uncompressed the ovf file as well like I did the OVA?
yes, OVA is tar archive of OVF directory (see e.g. [1]) and OVF is again tar
archive of one XML descriptor and VM disks, so you should be able to get the
VM disk this way
