What I ended up doing was using Joey Boggs's guest-image-ovf-creator.py to
convert the image to the 'correct'
structure and then upload it via engine-image-uploader to my export domain.
It did this, and I can see the files
in the export domain, but I can't import them via the GUI as they don't
appear. Should they? Or should there be
an 'import domain' somewhere?

I can try this but I'm not quite sure how to go about it. The ovf I created
via guest-image-ovf-creator is on an NFS mount
on the engine: do I need to run virt-v2v on one of the nodes? If so, I
assume I need to set the output to an export domain.
Does '-o local' stick it on the node's VM storage?


Thanks,

Cam
