Hello Markus,
Thanks for coming back so quickly. I will read the document shortly. In the
mean time my kvm hypervisor is already running and it's attached to iscsi
storage.
Do I need to convert all machines ? or I can simply mange all the stuff
through ovirt-engine like I am managing with virt-manager for now.

Hello,
welcome to the list. ovirt uses a central management server (ovirt-engine)
that
manages the machine definition in a database. It controls VMs on several
hypervisor
hosts with this information. To get a VM into the database you have to
import
it. virt-v2v helps me for VMWare sources and it should do the trick for
you. Find
more info in chapter A.1.2.4 of this page:

Your hypervisor must be CentOS 6 or Fedora 18/19 in order to be able to
manage it with oVirt (other Linux distributions are still a wip).
As oVirt has a totally different concept as virt-manager you have to
import your machines into oVirt. As Markus already wrote this can be
done using virt-v2v.

René

Hi Rene,
Thanks for your reply. My hypervisor is kvm which is already running on
Centos6. Now I understand the fact that I can't simply connect kvm with
ovrit-engine rather I will need to import machines from kvm to ovirt-engine
but my hypervisor will still be kvm ? Am I right ?
On a different node what is the role of vdsm ?
Thanks
Shantanu

yes. you could try to add the host to ovirt-engine, then create a VM,
then dd the guest into the managed disk by ovirt-engine.
if you use a LUN per disk, you can also use the direct lun disk with
ovirt-engine without porting/converting the data.
On a different node what is the role of vdsm ?
its the agent on the hypervisor the engine uses to communicate with.
Thanks
