Hi there,
I'm spending a fair amount of time to find out how (if possible) to
upload a .img image to a oVirt Storage Domain and be able to mount it in
a VM as a disk.
It is a OpenWRT image and there is no OVF from it, so it's a raw image
which I wanted to use as a disc. Tried both with engine-iso-uploader and
engine-image-uploader but they refure for diferent reasons.
Is that possible at all ?

Uploading of QCOW images from GUI will hopefully land in 4.0.
In the meantime you can work around it like this:
1. Create a VM and install centos/some other Linux on it
2. Create a new VM disk and attach to VM, not the disk device
3. Copy the image from the file to the disk device with virt-resize.
4. Detach the disk from the VM and build a new VM around it
Optionally:
1. Convert the VM from step #4 to a template
2. Re use the VM from step #1 to upload more images.

Alternatively you can put the image manually to any location, reachable =
by qemu and use vmdisk hook to attach the image to VM at start.

I has landed, the last 4.0 build should support it in ovirt builds.
It may have a bug that you have to approve additional certificate
to get the upload working, this is fixed upstream.
Amit, can you confirm?
In the meantime you can work around it like this:
1. Create a VM and install centos/some other Linux on it
2. Create a new VM disk and attach to VM, not the disk device
3. Copy the image from the file to the disk device with virt-resize.
4. Detach the disk from the VM and build a new VM around it

Thanks for that.
That worked.
I installed a temporary Linux distribution, downloded the .img file to
its filesystem, made a dd to /dev/vdb and remove the temporary Linux
distribution disk, then let the disk boot from the remaining disk. Far
from ideal but at least worked.
