Ovirt 4.0.5 how to import an OVA appliance
Hi, I downloaded an OVA image from OpenVAS but I can't import it into ovirt, any suggestions ? engine-image-uploader -e Export upload /tmp/OpenVAS-8-DEMO-1.0.ova WARNING: ovirt-image-uploader is deprecated in 4.0 and will be removed in 4.1 Please provide the REST API password for the admin@internal oVirt Engine user (CTRL+D to abort): ERROR: not a gzip file

Unfortunately, OVA is a generic term describing a container for a VM/group of VMs definitions but it is implemented in different ways.
From OpenVAS website it seems their OVA format is for Virtualbox >= 4.3... correct?
You could try to export the disk file/s with VirtualBox command line tool VBoxManage (never tried myself): http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html Or eventually follow what described in this thread, that implies to import the OVA into a VirtualBox environment and then re-export it for oVirt with the steps described: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2015-December/036371.html HIH, Gianluca
Thanks Gianluca, I'll give it a go and let you know what (if) works. On 16 November 2016 at 13:29, Gianluca Cecchi <gianluca.cecchi@gmail.com> wrote:
