The .ova is what I got when I unzipped the zip file. > Anyway, you probably don't need to convert this VM using virt-v2v > anyway. Just untar the .ova file, extract the disks (*.vmdk) and > convert them to qcow2 using `qemu-img convert foo.vmdk -O qcow2 foo.qcow2'. That worked. I was able to import the resulting qcow2 file into virt-manager (Using "Create a new virtual machine" -> "Import existing disk image").
