It seems like you have an early version of ovirt-4.0, if you'll update your version it might solve some of your problems (such as the exception in the screenshot). soon, the size and format will be deduced from the image as well, so many things will be clearer.

If you want to stay with your version, you'll need to do the following steps in order to upload the file:
- At the engine's host, yum install ovirt-imageio-proxy
- Then, run engine-setup.
- Add the engine's CA to the Authorities list in your browser. (you can download it from https://%your_engine%/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA)

regarding the size- you can choose a bigger size than the original file's size.

Hope that works out for you!

If you are using ovirt-4.0, you can just upload it to any storage domain you have, from 
Storage->domain->disks tab->Upload->Start
or:
Disks->Upload->Start

Thanks, Amit.




I didn't know about it so I just tested uploading a local file.
Can I only select and put nothing in the lower part of the screen?
Because I get this error with both the options:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvNzliUWs5a0dGV2c/view?usp=sharing
It seems nothing in engine.log or events

$ qemu-img info /tmp/manageiq_01.qcow2 
image: /tmp/manageiq_01.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 40G (42949672960 bytes)
disk size: 1.5G
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 0.10
    refcount bits: 16

On storage domain I have 11Gb free. Would it calculate 40Gb of necessary storage or 1.5Gb?

Ok, self answer.
As I have visual problems to notice the square border changes (and didn't notice the dotted lines under the required fields).
Putting now data inside the upload starts, but then I see message "Paused by System" in disks page
and in engine.log many mlines of type
2016-08-10 12:28:02,410 WARN  [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.UploadDiskImageCommand] (DefaultQuartzScheduler9) [4a24dd69] Failed to stop image transfer session. Ticket does not exist for image '53e2ee54-b710-4872-bea6-fbecfa767bf9'

Also, as I have to specify a size, does that mean that I can use a different virtual size from the original qcow2 file I'm uploding?
