Greetings,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the proper direction in the co=

Hi everyone,
I am new to ovirt and can't find any documentation about how to import an e=
xisting VM into ovirt. I have a qcow2 image that I know runs under a KVM hy=
pervisor. Ideally there would be a way for me to import it as a template be=
cause I plan to create other virtual machines based off this VM.
I tried virt-v2v, but it will only work if I have a datacenter setup with N=
FS. In my case, I have a datacenter setup for local storage hosts.
Thanks,
Andrey

Don's know where are your datacenters. If both of your datacenters are
managed by oVirt, You can export the existing VM in datacenter. And
then let the other datacenter to import it.

You should create export domain (nfs but still locally on same
machine) and import existing image to this domain. After succesfull
import you can restore machine to your local images domain and
start VM.

since this seems to be going around, how about opening a bug (use
keyword: Improvement) to better handle detection of emualted machines at
host/cluster level)

if you mean creating the VM at configuration level: AddVm.
it has a few variants:
1. from template - will create the VM and clone/cow the disks
2. from scratch/blank template - will create the VM, and you will need
to later add/attach the disks manually.
3. from an existing snapshot (will collapse layers iirc)
(you can also import a VM)
to run the VM: RunVm
relevant code classes in engine under this path:
