[Users] Migrate KVM to Ovirt

[Bret Palsson]

I recently moved my KVM to oVirt KVM.  I did just that, created a vm
the same size as the previous vm, added the same network interfaces,
assigned each interface the same MAC address and finally cat each
${vm}.img into the ${UUID}.img file created by oVirt.

Worked perfectly! Just make sure you cat the right img file into the
correct new vm file. To do this without trying to figure out the UUIDs
you can do one vm at a time.
