[ovirt-devel] Ovirt API Import OVA

[Arik Hadas]

Actually it depends on the content of the OVA file.
If the OVA file was generated by vSphere (export VM) then since oVirt 3.6 you can import it via the webadmin (virtual machines tab -> import -> select OVA as the source).
Note that you'll need to copy the OVA to one of your hosts that is installed with virt-v2v for that.
This action is missing in the API.
