You can use clonezilla to migrate your physical server to an oVirt VM. 
Prepare a vm with a disk of the same size and configure as thin 
provision. Boot both servers with clonezilla and clone using the 
network. Clonezilla only copies the used block in your source disk. Note 
that you need to include some ide drivers in your source server before 
clone in order your Windows server can boot up[1]
