Hello Guys,
I have a infrastructure of 2 Ubuntu servers that hosts kvm guest.
I want to implement Ovirt, I'm wondering what is the best way to migrate
the existing KVM Guest from my Ubuntu server to Ovirt.
Can i rsync the .img and the xml to Ovirt ?
virt-v2v ?
I want a mention that I have a VM of 800GB would it be to large for Ovirt
or to convert ?
Regards,

shouldn't be an issue.
main change is we still don't (yet) have a working ubuntu host support,
so fedora or .el6 are needed for now.
is the VM on shared or local storage?
since it from/to kvm, you may be able to avoid copying/v2v it, rather
just create a new VM in ovirt of same size and copy the storage over it
(easiest with local storage or nfs shared storage)

I recently moved my KVM to oVirt KVM. I did just that, created a vm
the same size as the previous vm, added the same network interfaces,
assigned each interface the same MAC address and finally cat each
${vm}.img into the ${UUID}.img file created by oVirt.
Worked perfectly! Just make sure you cat the right img file into the
correct new vm file. To do this without trying to figure out the UUIDs
you can do one vm at a time.
