[ovirt-users] Problems With VMWare Import

[Charles Tassell]

Ah, that's a bit of a bummer but I guess I can use the p2v conversion 
for those instances.  I tried to convert another VM (this one without a 
snapshot) and got the error "virt-v2v is unable to convert this guest 
type"  I'm guessing that the problem is that our VMWare VM's are an the 
v10 format, as I know a lot of tools have issue dealing with the newer 
format.
