Hey Paul,

I think the OVA is what you need for Engine. Once you get that file you can import it. So: Use the OVA offered by the VMWare thing, or use a script like this one:

http://jenkins.ovirt.org/user/fabiand/my-views/view/Node/job/ovirt-appliance... depends on https://github.com/redhat-imaging/imagefactory

To convert the qcow2 to an OVA.

I remember not so much time ago that VMware generated OVA format was NOT compatible for import into oVirt/RHEV.... see for example this thread: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-August/027059.html Did anything change in the mean time and is perhaps the new virt-v2v available with ova functionality in it?
