I just tried importing using the import script and got this error: [root@ovirt1 prod ~]# import-to-ovirt.pl /mnt/tmp/puppetdb.j2noc.com.disk.xm /rhev/data-center/mnt/j2hqnap02:_vol_ovirt__inside__export_exportTemplates libvirt needs authentication to connect to libvirt URI qemu:///system (see also: http://libvirt.org/auth.html http://libvirt.org/uri.html) Please enter your authentication name: vdsm@ovirt Please enter your password: could not create appliance through libvirt. Try running qemu directly without libvirt using this environment variable: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct Original error from libvirt: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2016-05-24T18:10:21.651694Z qemu-kvm: -drive file=/tmp/libguestfsWx9FbI/overlay1,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=unsafe: Could not open '/tmp/libguestfsWx9FbI/overlay1': Permission denied [code=1 domain=10] at /usr/local/bin/import-to-ovirt.pl line 233. I believe this is the same error that prompted me to use "user = root" in qemu.conf, but sounds like there is a better resolution?

thank you very much for the reply. My main question now is does it required to use "user = root" in qemu.conf for the import script to work? I haven't knowingly modified qemu.conf in my life, so likely the answer is no.
