Thanks David, I didn't see your e-mail while I was writing my answer.
I confirm I went a similar way (but passing anyway from OVA and then
extracting the disk...)

I have done this before quite a few times. What I did was:


  1.  Export the qcow2 or raw file and convert it: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O 
vmdk
  2.  Import the vmdk into vsphere storage and convert it to thin with 
vmkfstools
  3.  Then create the vm definition.
  4.  There will be some minor driver and ethernet type stuff to fix.

This process has worked everytime. You probably could use a tool like virt v2v 
or veeam to accomplish this as well.

not that i know of. it depends on how resilient is vmware's ova import ... but 
if it is a single or a few vms then you can give up on settings and just import 
raw disks?
