How do you convert to ovirt format?
OS Disk mail.qcow2 (74M) converts to main.img (294M)
Storage disks 250.qcow2 (256K) converts to 250.img (250GB) 1024.qcow2 (256K) converts to 1024.img (1TB) 2048.qcow2 (256K) converts to 2048.img (2TB) 4096.qvow2 (256K) converts to 4096.img (4TB) 8192.qcow2 (256K) converts to 8192.img (8TB)
The second problem is that these disks are scsi and ti does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection. I tried selecting the IDE option, but there is a limit to the number of IDE disks that I can use.
Can you provide more details about "does not seem to work"?
Virtualbox has no issues running the appliance that was distributed in the ova format. Any help would be appreciated
ovirt-3.6 beta supports import from ova format; maybe you like to try it? Nir

Sure this will expand the file to the full size, but why do you need raw image? ovirt works with qcow images.
oVirt will not allow me to have more than 3 IDE devices on a VM
What do you mean by "it does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection."?
Doesnt 3.6 only work on RHEL/Centos 7?
And Fedora 21/22.

What about the problem with the IDE drives?
I think ide is limited to 4 drives, not sure why you see a limit of 3 drives. Vdsm logs showing the errors you get would be very helpful to understand this. Please open an ovirt bug for this, and attach vdsm logs. But if you can use ide drives (hdX?), why not use virtio (vdX)? You can have 16 of these.

To convert the images I used: qemu-img convert 250.qcow2 -O raw 250.img -p
Sure this will expand the file to the full size, but why do you need raw image? ovirt works with qcow images.
oVirt will not allow me to have more than 3 IDE devices on a VM
What do you mean by "it does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection."?
Doesnt 3.6 only work on RHEL/Centos 7?
And Fedora 21/22.

The first problem that I have is that the disks expand to their full size when I convert the to an oVirt format
How do you convert to ovirt format?
OS Disk mail.qcow2 (74M) converts to main.img (294M)
Storage disks 250.qcow2 (256K) converts to 250.img (250GB) 1024.qcow2 (256K) converts to 1024.img (1TB) 2048.qcow2 (256K) converts to 2048.img (2TB) 4096.qvow2 (256K) converts to 4096.img (4TB) 8192.qcow2 (256K) converts to 8192.img (8TB)
The second problem is that these disks are scsi and ti does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection. I tried selecting the IDE option, but there is a limit to the number of IDE disks that I can use.
Can you provide more details about "does not seem to work"?
Virtualbox has no issues running the appliance that was distributed in the ova format. Any help would be appreciated
ovirt-3.6 beta supports import from ova format; maybe you like to try it?

What about the problem with the IDE drives?
I think ide is limited to 4 drives, not sure why you see a limit of 3 drives.
Vdsm logs showing the errors you get would be very helpful to understand this.
Please open an ovirt bug for this, and attach vdsm logs.
But if you can use ide drives (hdX?), why not use virtio (vdX)? You can have 16 of these.

To convert the images I used: qemu-img convert 250.qcow2 -O raw 250.img -p
Sure this will expand the file to the full size, but why do you need raw image? ovirt works with qcow images.
oVirt will not allow me to have more than 3 IDE devices on a VM
What do you mean by "it does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection."?
Doesnt 3.6 only work on RHEL/Centos 7?
And Fedora 21/22.

The first problem that I have is that the disks expand to their full size when I convert the to an oVirt format
How do you convert to ovirt format?
OS Disk mail.qcow2 (74M) converts to main.img (294M)
Storage disks 250.qcow2 (256K) converts to 250.img (250GB) 1024.qcow2 (256K) converts to 1024.img (1TB) 2048.qcow2 (256K) converts to 2048.img (2TB) 4096.qvow2 (256K) converts to 4096.img (4TB) 8192.qcow2 (256K) converts to 8192.img (8TB)
The second problem is that these disks are scsi and ti does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection. I tried selecting the IDE option, but there is a limit to the number of IDE disks that I can use.
Can you provide more details about "does not seem to work"?
Virtualbox has no issues running the appliance that was distributed in the ova format. Any help would be appreciated
ovirt-3.6 beta supports import from ova format; maybe you like to try it?
