I'm not going to lie I never had much luck. I end up using qemu-img convert on the command line to convert a vmdk to a raw file. The ova should just be a compressed file. Plenty of blogs on this.
I know that's not the answer you're looking for but if you run out of options you can do this. Look for articles on converting vmdk or ova or qcow2. You will need to create the vm in advance. Then check the image name on the storage subtab. Then do a find for it. Find / -name [long name here] I've had virtual appliances built for kvm just not work (like Citrix Netscaler). Using the esx appliance and doing the steps above it works on ovirt/rhev.
