We have an existing setup consisting of virt-manager/libvirt/KVM hypervisors that we're planning to migrate to Ovirt.  Given that all of our guests are existing KVM/virtio images, it does not make sense for us to virt-v2v them over because of the ensuing registry/kernel/etc. changes that may be unnecessarily applied.

One solution to this is the import-to-ovirt.pl script created by Redhat's maintainer of virt-v2v.  https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/importing-kvm-guests-to-ovirt-or-rhev/  Running this script on a host against a disk image will import the image to exported storage and mate it to a basic configuration so it can be imported easily afterward, or at least it should.

Our current test set up consists of hosted engine Ovirt 3.5.4 on Centos 7.1.  When attempting to import an image using this script on the host we get the following errors:

libvirt needs authentication to connect to libvirt URI qemu:///system
libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed
could not connect to libvirt (URI = qemu:///system): authentication failed: authentication failed at ./import-to-ovirt.pl line 230.

I understand that diagnosing this script is well outside of the context of this mailing list, but this is clearly just an authentication problem.  We've tried the root, ovirt and the admin@internal credentials and none of them work.   Is there a default login/password to access libvirt on an Ovirt host?

Our system works as it should otherwise.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed light here.
