My concern with this (if I've understood it correctly) is it's going to be slow and require considerable extra storage on the conversion server. At the moment -- using NFS -- we can stream from VMware to oVirt, requiring almost no local storage on the conversion server.

That requires virt-v2v to be installed on the oVirt nodes so it's not quite a replacement for what you can do with ‘virt-v2v -o rhv’ today. Can we have a REST API so that we can upload the disk images and OVF metadata to some directory on the NFS server (eg. an ‘/import’ directory), and then the call the REST API which would complete the import -- ie. update the database, and move the images to their final places (bonus points if it can handle chown-ing the images too). > Other than that, there is a rumor about introucing a backup-data-domain. > Hopefully, that plan will also be shared publicly and we'll know more > details about it.
