Here's an example on how to import a vm named "test-solaris10" from a
KVM machine (kvm-server) to the export domain located on server
nfs-server:

$ virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://kvm-server/system -o rhev -os
nfs-server:/nfs/exports -of raw -oa sparse -n ovirtmgmt test-solaris10


man virt-v2v explains all the possible options...
