Basic Open Virtualization Format Support

Basic OVF Support is the ability to import OVF appliances into an HVM guest.

The Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is the latest industry-wide
format used to move guest VMs (domUs) between different virtualization
platforms.

The virt-convert utility now supports both .vmx and OVF format input files.
The virt-convert utility has been enhanced to auto-detect the OVF
format as an input type to the xvm command-line utility, virt-convert(1),
or to have it explicitly set as follows:

virt-convert -i ovf inputdir|input.vmx|input.ovf [outputdir|output.xml]

For more information on the OVF format support,
see the virt-convert(1) man page.
