[ovirt-users] Import of exported VMware VM fails

[Cam Mac]

Hi Shahar,

I ran the virt-v2v as root as it needs to do stuff in /run/user/0. It
certainly writes all the files as the correct user/group (i.e., vdsm/kvm)
on the export domain. Is there any way to do the import from the command
line?

Thanks,

Cam
