Hey Shahar,

 

I have been doing even more “googling” today, and I stumbled upon this article: https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg36886.html. I was able to fix the issue by running a yum update –enablerepo=cr on one of my test hosts. It works now! Thank you for your help.

Thanks Nate,

The Engine log is correct but the vdsm one is without the error, it maybe the wrong host, the log that we expected is the one you named CTI04.

If you try to import again please make sure you select the right host in the import dialog.

I cleared the log files and re-attempted to import the ova. This should be everything plus a little. Thanks again!

HI,

The log don't show the error.

Please send the right part of the log and vdsm log as well.

 

Thanks you,

  Shahar.

Hey All,

 

I am trying to import a VM into oVirt. I am attempting to use the web interface to do so. I started by exporting a ova file directly from VMware Workstation. I uploaded the file to the local hard disk of a virtual host. Changed the permissions on the file to 36:36. The last step from what I can see was to go into the web interface and "import" the VM. I used the VMware Virtual Appliance as the source and specified the local path to the ova. It detected the ova, and I was able to move it into the "Virtual Machines to Import" box. After oVirt starts the import of the VM it ends up failing with the error "Failed to convert VM", and then shortly after it deletes the VM.

 

I am attaching a snippet of the engine.log, but I can't really make heads or tails of the error messages in there. I am on oVirt 4.0.5. The virtual host is running CentOS 7. Thanks in advance!
