Hello, I have found that I can import thin-provisioned VMs from VMWare ESXi into an oVirt (3.6 Hosted-Engine) iSCSI storage domain as thin-provisioned VMs by doing the following : 1 . Import the thin-provisioned VMWare VM into an NFS storage domain. 2. Export the thin-provisioned VM from the NFS storage domain.into the oVirt Export domain. 3. Import the thin-provisioned VM into an iSCSI Storage Domain from the oVirt Export domain Is there a simpler way to do this using the 3.6 Import capability ? Or, do we need to follow the above procedure to get VMs into oVirt from VMWare as thin-provisioned VMs ? Thank You For Your Help !

Why not import the thin-provisioned VMWare VM directly into a block storage domain? What do you get in this case? Nir

Nir Please note that you can select the "Allocation Policy" after you selected the ova to import (attached screenshot)
