Yes, you can import a virtual machine from VMware using virt-v2v tool...

It depends.
If you're using an ESX server, then yes, pretty easily with
virt-v2v.
If it's just a disk image, that's more difficult. I think the
latest virt-v2v can do it. (Matt?)

Well, the idea is to have a backup software updating a vmdk file, that vmdk is a vdisk of
a virtual machine that is off, when needed we start the VM and users start working on this
VM, for a disaster recovery solution.

The problem with this is that you would also have to go back. V2V
definitely isn't what you're looking for.

virt-v2v.
If you only have the images of the virtual machine but not the ESX server
itself, it is possible use a dirty scenario:
- first convert the virtual machine to a local libvirt / virtmanager based
KVM environment. [1] includes a brief how-to..
- then use virt-v2v to import this new guest to an ovirt import domain.
The most complete documentation on v2v I could find is here [2]
If it's just a disk image, that's more difficult. I think
the
latest virt-v2v can do it. (Matt?)
It can not AFAIK, but this would be a very welcome addition...

The latest virt-v2v can convert a VMware OVA export.
