To answer my own question: as is often the case, perusing the commercial (RHV 4.0) documentation proved useful.
The documentation is here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/virtual-machine-management-guide/612-exporting-and-importing-virtual-machines-and-templates However, I kept getting the error “Host key verification failed.: Connection reset by peer”. This despite having followed the official documentation on generating and copying keys, under Procedure 6.2.6 Importing a Virtual Machine from KVM. Then I found this article from July 2012 about a different (but similar) scenario: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/136463 What helped was the “alternative test” suggestion. Here is the URI I ended up using with success: qemu+ssh://root@MY_KVM_HOST/system?no_verify=1 Appending “no_verify=1” did the trick. It’s possible that adding hostnames and IPs to /etc/hosts would have also resolved this, but for something performed infrequently (importing a VM from another environment), modifying the URI is easier.

I gather it involves some sharing of SSH keys but I haven’t seen it explained in detail. Specifically, what user needs to trust what keys on which machines? The hypervisor hosts? The machine running the engine? Also, some examples of URI paths would be much appreciated. Thanks, Daniel
