Convert ova to use with KVM

[thockman]

I am putting this here since I use mostly KVM in proxmox.

You can tar -tvf the ova to view contents and tar -xvf to extract.
Then choose which format to convert to.
I always use raw because I use ceph for storage.
So here is what I would do to convert after extracting.

qemu-img convert -O raw filename.vmdk rawname

Then create the KVM in proxmox, find the name of the disk and then use rd import as the same diskname.

rbd rm vm-113-disk-1
rbd import ulteo vm-113-disk-1
