Hello !!
I'm wondering if it's possible to import a VM disk on qcow2 format on oVirt
to use it as a VM hard disk.
The idea is to import a VMWare (vmdk) o Xen (ova) virtual hdd on oVirt.
Regards.

As far as i remember, there is no way to import just a disk,
only vm/template.
i guess you could find a way to create an OVF to represent a vm that attached to that
disk,
import it and then detach the disk from the fake vm

but you don't need to convert the vmdk to qcow2 necessarily - take a
look at virt-v2v to do this for you, including changing drivers, etc.

As could could see virt-v2v converts VMWare ESX/ESXi VMs, but I have on
VMWare Server 2.x.
Also I have Citrix XenServer VMs.

Do we have such a tool in oVirt? Or just create the OVF file manually?
After I get the OVF file, where should I put the OVF file and the disk
file to be imported?

I'm wondering if it's possible to import a VM disk on qcow2

The idea is to import a VMWare (vmdk) o Xen (ova) virtual

Virt-v2v cannot convert from the OVF + disk image at the moment.
We'll probably support this in future now that support for VMDK in
qemu is working better.
Also there's no support for conversion from Citrix Xen. It's also on
the wishlist.
If you have the original ESX server then you can convert from that.
Alternately just convert the image using qemu-img, and it may work.
The drivers will be all wrong, but it may be possible to fix those up
by hand (using libguestfs if it doesn't boot).
Note that older versions of qemu were known to silently corrupt VMDK
files when you converted them, so check the result before deleting the
original.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.

Wouldn't it be possible to use VMware converter 3 to
migrate the VMs to
ESX/ESXi type and then use virt-v2v?
Also I have Citrix XenServer VMs.

There's an application from Acronis (
http://www.acronis.com/backup-recovery/advanced-server-virtual/#red-hat-rhev)
that seems to work (convert Citrix Xen Server and VMWAre VMs) to RHEV, this
should also work on oVirt, don't ?
