Hi Nir,
Trying to revive this old thread, I ran in to a similar issue. I imported a few
VMs from an old VMWARE version into ovirt 4.3.3 using OVAs generated on the
VMWARE side. After adjusting a bit the OVAs I was able to do the import.
A year later I have tried to export those VMs from 4.3.3 to a new
Hyperconverged cluster that uses oVirt 4.3.10.
If I try to import a VM with only 1 disk I need to modify the DISKTYPE from 1
to DATA, and Need to add the alias on the DESCRIPTION field as it does not
appear on the v5 (ovirt 4.3.10).
Original settings:

I changed DISKTYPE=1 to DISKTYPE=DATA and DESCRIPTION=DESCRIPTION=generated by
virt-v2v 1.38.2rhel_7,release_12.el7_6.2,libvirt TO
DESCRIPTION={"DiskAlias":"MYVM-DISK1","DiskDescription":""} and for Disk2
DESCRIPTION={"DiskAlias":"MYVM-DISK2","DiskDescription":""}
VMs with only 1 disk on their configuration only migrates the disk and only
able to import the disk, not the VM from an NFS sharead data domain. So I had
to create the VM and attach the imported disk and worked fine. Then I tranfered
the disk from the NFS domain to the VMSTORE Gluster domain... up to here all
good.
Problem when I tried to do the same with a VM with 2 disks, up to starting the
VM all was good, however migrating the storage to the VMSTORE Gluster domain
the second disk stays in migration forever, issue related to deleting auto
generated snapshot of the second disk.
In order to half way solve the issue I had to follow up on:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/396753
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1347513
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3991591
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/
https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-May/039898.html
but this caused a lot of downtime, so right now 1 disk of the VM is on VMSTORE
DOMAIN (Gluster), and one disk on the migration data domain (NFS). Seems I
can't transfer the second disk to VMSTORE Domain.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
AQ
