Jonathan, I'm bringing here the entire previous post on the matter: -----------------------------------------------------------------------
We just added support for this to upstream virt-v2v, although it requires a very recent qemu to work. F17 isn't new enough. I haven't tested F18 qemu yet, but hopefully it'll be good there.
Thanks Matt, can you share any details on the differences from ovf in behavior? (and i was wondering why a newer kvm is needed?)
We can only output to oVirt's OVF, and we can only import from VMware's OVA. The command line looks something like: # virt-v2v -i ova --profile ovirt foo.ova It needs a new qemu for the latest vmdk driver in order to do the on-disk format conversion. The vmdk driver has been around for a while, but it's only just become usable. This has long been the barrier to implementing this feature. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you indeed meet the requirements mentioned above?

Vered, when i tried it, i got output error:
Virt-v2v: there is no profile named ovirt.
Any ideas? When i run virt-v2v --list-profiles, i get nothing. There are no profiles.
I appreciate your help you are giving me, jonathan

Jonathan,
Your previous post's thread has this answer in it:
We can only output to oVirt's OVF, and we can only import from VMware's OVA. The command line looks something like:
# virt-v2v -i ova --profile ovirt foo.ova
Is it not helpful to you? If not, please say why.
Thanks, Vered.

What about converting something like a .ova file into ovirt? From what i read in the man pages, it only converts live running Vms, not files? Is that the correct assessment?

In a nutshell - yes.
It can convert RHEL and windows guests running on Xen or ESX to KVM-based guests that can be imported into oVirt.

Is virt-v2v something i can leverage to get foreign virtual guests into my ovirt/node environment?
Thanks, jonathan
