[Users] conversion of ESXi 5 centos VM to fedora19 ovirt host-- import failed

[Blaster]

I haven’t tried this yet, but if I had to move a VM from ESXi to oVirt this is how I would do it…
(actually, this is how I did it with Windows 7 guests…)

Shutdown guest on ESXi  (or use GhettoVCB to make a snapshot backup if you don’t want an outtage) 
NFS copy guest from ESXi server to temp storage somewhere
qemu-img convert guest.vmdk -O raw guest.raw
Create an oVirt guest with the appropriate OS type
Add a disk of the same GB to the guest
After oVirt finishes creating the disk, copy the guest.raw file over the disk image oVirt made
boot guest and install qemu-agent, ovirt-agent, spice-agent (or better yet, do this before you shutdown on ESXi)
remove VMware tools.

The importing and virt2v procedure seems far to complex and error prone to me.
