[Users] oVirt 3.0 - importing OVF

Hi, I have VM files from VMWare ESX 3.5. I converted this VM to OVF format. Is it possible to import this VM to oVirt. Should I use the import/export storage and virt-v2v tool? Best regards, Piotr

use virt-v2v for ovirt target to convert it and place it into the export domain, then import it to the system. though i remember something about v2v being sensitive to source being esx directly or vcenter.

As Itamar says, currently you can only convert from live ESX servers. It's in the RHEL 7 schedule to be able to import from OVF/OVA.
