Did you consult the documentation of virt-v2v ?
Imho all the information you need is there, but I didn't test this
myself so ymmv.

Hey Paul,
I think the OVA is what you need for Engine.
Once you get that file you can import it.
So: Use the OVA offered by the VMWare thing, or use a script like this one:
http://jenkins.ovirt.org/user/fabiand/my-views/view/Node/job/ovirt-applia...
depends on https://github.com/redhat-imaging/imagefactory
To convert the qcow2 to an OVA.

Alternatively I could construct a VM in virt-manager and attach the
converted
qcow2 disk to it, and then use virt-v2v to import this into ovirt.
Can someone suggest an alternative course of action? It seems strange that I
can't just import a disk into ovirt, construct a VM and attach the disk.
Is there anything int he works to make this process easier?
Thanks,
Paul

I remember not so much time ago that VMware generated OVA format was NOT
compatible for import into oVirt/RHEV....
see for example this thread:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-August/027059.html
Did anything change in the mean time and is perhaps the new virt-v2v
available with ova functionality in it?

Oh, I didn't recall that a few minutes ago.

AFAIK the new virt-v2v is still not supporting OVAs.
That means, we need to create the ovas ourselfs using some script (like the one above).

This is correct, OVA import is supported and working, provided you use
the latest version and update all the supporting packages -- see my
earlier email on this thread.

I have not found a way to import
qcow2 disk into oVirt.
The last time I needed to import a qcow2 disk to oVirt I created a vm in
a kvm server (my pc..) with virt-manager, then I added the qcow disk,
and booted the vm with clonezilla. Then I created a VM in oVirt,
provisioned with similar disks and booted also with clonezilla. Then I
cloned from kvm to oVirt. After I deleted the native kvm vm and disks.
In this way I bypassed all the import, export, ova compatibility,
virt2virt, etc.
Simple and practical

Wrote this awhile back as a quick qcow to ovf implementation to import
into ovirt-engine/rhevm. There are newer options but this does the job
really quick. Will wrap the qcow image into an exploded ova structure or
zipped. You can then import it directly into engine with
engine-image-uploader.

I have not found a way to import qcow2 disk into oVirt.<br>
<br>
The last time I needed to import a qcow2 disk to oVirt I created a
vm in a kvm server (my pc..) with virt-manager, then I added the
qcow disk, and booted the vm with clonezilla. Then I created a VM
in oVirt, provisioned with similar disks and booted also with
clonezilla. Then I cloned from kvm to oVirt. After I deleted the
native kvm vm and disks. In this way I bypassed all the import,
export, ova compatibility, virt2virt, etc.<br>
<br>
Simple and practical<br>

Wrote this awhile back as a quick qcow to ovf implementation to
import into ovirt-engine/rhevm. There are newer options but this
does the job really quick. Will wrap the qcow image into an exploded
ova structure or zipped. You can then import it directly into engine
with engine-image-uploader.<br>

Just try throwing ideas out there... I actually use virtualbox tools to conv=

VBoxManage clonehd
Once converted to a raw image I use KVM to import to my storage and than v2v=
to import it to oVirt.
I have a small script I wrote that does this automatically for me....
I have converted .vdi, .vmdk, .qcow2, etc.... It has never fail me...

an OVA and then try and use a newer virt-v2v to import this into
ovirt.
It's correct that we no longer allow direct connections to ESXi, and
also correct that using OVA is the way to go.
Make sure you are using the latest version of virt-v2v *AND* the
supporting packages. If using RHEL 7.0 then you should be using the
repository here, and make sure to do a full 'yum update' to get all
the new packages:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html
Can someone suggest an alternative course of action? It seems
strange that I can't just import a disk into ovirt, construct a VM
and attach the disk.
It's a missing feature of oVirt that you can't just upload a disk image.
