Based on my experience - the OVA contains the xml and the actual disk of the
hosted engine.
Then the deployment starts locally the VM and populates the necessary data in it
Once it's over , the deployment shuts down and copies the disk of that local
VM, undefines it and then ovirt's ha agents are being configured - so they can
mount the shared storage and power up the VM (special tar /OVMF/ file on shared
storage has the agent configuration file).
So , in the ova there should be a template VM + the xml config (cpus, ram,
devices, etc) .
I would be surprised if there is something else in it.
