[ovirt-users] Virtual appliance import question/problem

[Maurice James]

I have a virtual mail security appliance that I am trying to import into oVirt 3.5.4. The appliance was built for kvm. it has a total of 5 scsi disks. I can convert and copy the OS disk only because it expands its self to full size. 

The first problem that I have is that the disks expand to their full size when I convert the to an oVirt format 

OS Disk 
mail.qcow2 (74M) converts to main.img (294M) 


Storage disks 
250.qcow2 (256K) converts to 250.img (250GB) 
1024.qcow2 (256K) converts to 1024.img (1TB) 
2048.qcow2 (256K) converts to 2048.img (2TB) 
4096.qvow2 (256K) converts to 4096.img (4TB) 
8192.qcow2 (256K) converts to 8192.img (8TB) 



The second problem is that these disks are scsi and ti does not seem to work using the virtio-scsi selection. I tried selecting the IDE option, but there is a limit to the number of IDE disks that I can use. 

Virtualbox has no issues running the appliance that was distributed in the ova format. Any help would be appreciated
