I''ve integrated basic OVF import support into virt-convert in b128: PSARC 2009/548 OVF Support in virt-convert 6889210 Enhance virt-convert to import ovf based appliance If you have an OVF appliance that xvm can support in HVM mode, then you can convert it to an xvm guest by doing: # virt-convert -o virt-instance file.ovf guest.xml # virsh define guest.xml <path_to_guest.xml> This allows you to install a solaris or windows guest onto VirtualBox, export the guest and then import it as an xvm HVM guest. On Windows, you''ll need to choose the piix3 IDE disk controller type and the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop network adaptor in order to boot these in HVM mode on xvm. Thanks, Susan
