Hi All,
The proposed feature will introduce a new process of import virtual machines from
external systems using virt-v2v in oVirt.
I've created a wiki page that contains initial thoughts and design for it:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration
You are more than welcome to share your thoughts and insights.
Thanks,
Arik
Am I right that this still involves a full operational e.g. esxi host
to import vmware vms?
There is a huge user demand on a simpler process for just converting and
importing an vmware disk image. This feature will not solve this
use case, will it?

I agree it should. need to check if virt-v2v can cover this. if not,
need to fix it so it will...

Well here are the relevant BZ entries:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062910
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1049604
CC'ing the users from this Bugzilla entries, maybe they can add
something to gain some traction :)

New subject: [ovirt-devel] virt-v2v integration feature
Lots of virtual appliances come in ovf format. There isn’t a way to import it into an
oVirt/RHEV instance without a live ESX instance. This is very inconvenient and
inefficient

From live ESX, yes.
Offline VMware images (OVAs), not yet. However patches are welcome.
We quite literally have no one available to implement this.

Just catching up on this ..
virt-v2v now supports OVA imports, and it works pretty well. Please
make sure you use the new version, available here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html
or in Fedora >= 21 or Debian experimental.
Rich.
