shahar - uuid is not a must?
if not and engine is supposed to create it, sounds like a bug?
Of course it fails if ovirt-engine doesn't generate one.

are you sure you are not trying to add a VM with an existing UUID
(or did not pass a UUID)?

Thanks for your help.
I tried the import with a minimal OVF file as described by
Shahar and it
worked, but failed on activate.
This time I have a constraint violation on pk_vm_static,
which means
that ovirt-engine doesn't create a vm_guid if it isn't
here. I guess
it's the same for a lot of parameters.
that's sounds like a new bug.
please send stack trace (which will also help telling where
to look).
To move forward, I'm going to create "shadow" VMs on
ovirt-engine,
export them and import my "real" libvirt/KVM VMs with the
exported OVF
files. Makes sense?
Where should I look in the source tree if I want to (try to)
actually
help with the restore code for imported VMs?

you will need the header: the <Reference> tag the
<Content>
tag with the
<Section> items: <System> and <item>s cpu and memory, all
other
devices can be
