First you need to look at vdsm log to see more details why it failed.

Here is more detail:

What I ended up doing was using Joey Boggs's guest-image-ovf-creator.py to convert the image to the 'correct'

structure and then upload it via engine-image-uploader to my export domain. It did this, and I can see the files

in the export domain, but I can't import them via the GUI as they don't appear. Should they? Or should there be

an 'import domain' somewhere?

Try to run virt-v2v -i ova -o local to import the ova to local disk (see the
virt-v2v man page for more options) and see if that pass - the errors can be
more detailed there (it suppose to reflect the same error that you get in vdsm
log)., another options you can do is run virt-v2v in verbose mode (virt-v2v
-v).

I can try this but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. The ovf I created via guest-image-ovf-creator is on an NFS mount

on the engine: do I need to run virt-v2v on one of the nodes? If so, I assume I need to set the output to an export domain.

Does '-o local' stick it on the node's VM storage?

Thanks,

Cam
