We're running oVirt 4.4.8.6. We have uploaded a qcow2 image (metasploit v.3, FWIW)
Is it Metasploitable3-0.1.4.ova from the github releases page? https://github.com/brimstone/metasploitable3/releases
If not, can you share the image? It will help if we can reproduce this problem locally with the same image you are using.
using the GUI (Storage -> Disks -> Upload -> Start). The image is in qcow2 format.
Did you convert the vmdk file from the ova to qcow2?
No options on the right side were checked. The upload went smoothly, so we now tried to attach the disk to a VM.
To do that, we opened the VM -> Disks -> Attach and selected the disk. As interface, VirtIO-iSCSI was chosen, and the disk was marked as OS, so the "bootable" checkbox was selected.
The VM was later powered on, but when accessing the console the message "No bootable device." appears. We're pretty sure this is a bootable image, because it was tested on other virtualization infrastructure and it boots well. We also tried to upload the image in RAW format but the result is the same.
What are we missing here? Is anything else needed to do so the disk is bootable?
It sounds like you converted an image from another virtualization system (virtualbox) to qcow2 format, which may not be good enough to use the virtual machine.
oVirt supports importing OVA, but based on the UI, it supports only OVA created by oVirt.
That information message is incorrect, both OVAs that are created by oVirt/RHV and OVAs that are created by VMware are supported It could work for OVAs that are VMware-compatible though Posted https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/191 to emphasis that
You can try virt-v2v - this is an example command, you need to fill in the {} parts:
virt-v2v \ -i ova {path-to-ova-file} \ -o rhv-upload \ -oc https://{engine-address}/ovirt-engine/api \ -op {engine-password-file} \ -on {vm-name} \ -os {storrage-domain-name} \ -of qcow2 \ -oo rhv-cafile={engine-ca-file} \ -oo rhv-cluster={cluster-name}
I tried to import the Metasploitable3-0.1.4.ova, and virt-v2 fails with this error:
virt-v2v: error: inspection could not detect the source guest (or physical machine).
attached virt-v2v log.
