Hi,

I am using oVirt 4.1 and I am importing a significant number of VMs
from VMWare. So far, everything is fine.

However, I find that after importing each VM I have to modify some
parameters of the imported VM (Timezone, VM type from desktop to server,
VNC console...).

I have those parameters changed on the "blank" template, but it
seems that the import process is not picking that template as the base

That's true, we don't take anything from the blank template on import at the moment.

Although this approach makes sense to some degree, because the blank template is used as a base for new VMs unless stated otherwise, it is debatable whether this approach should be used for imported VMs - some may find such a relation between the (remote) imported VMs and the (local) blank template odd/unexpected .

for the imported VM. Where is the import process picking the defaults
for the imported VM from? Can those be changed? I have failed to find
that information on the docs.

Unfortunately, there is no way to set those defaults at the moment. You will have to edit the VMs after the import process is done. There are some plans to simplify that process though.

Thanks in advance!
