Is there a way to convert a .ova image file into ovirt?
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.
