Description of problem:
rhev3.6 should support "folder of files" and "zip" format when select OVA as source while importing virtual machine(s)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.
rhevm server: rhevm-3.6.0.2-0.1.el6.noarch
2.
registered host installed with following tree:http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.2-20151030.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/

libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7.x86_64
vdsm-4.17.10-5.el7ev.noarch
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.55.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.3.0-31.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login with administration portal, System->Virtual Machines. 

2. Click Import. Select "Virtual Appliance (OVA)"as source and fill the "Host" and "Path" contents as Screenshot-1.
2.1 On Host path including following 3 kinds format of files.
# ls /opt/
esx-rhel6  esx-rhel6-ova.tar  esx-rhel6-ova.zip
# ls /opt/esx-rhel6
esx-rhel6-disk1.vmdk  esx-rhel6.mf  esx-rhel6.ovf

2.2 In Screenshot-1 testing with file "esx-rhel6-ova.tar".

3. Click the "Load" button.

4. Repeat step2 and step3 with "folder of files" and "zip" format.

Actual results:
1. It works with .tar formation.
2. Failed to get guest configuration with "folder of files" and "zip" format, and get a error:
Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /opt/esx-rhel6-ova.zip

See Screenshot-2 and Screenshot-3.

Expected results:
rhev3.6 should support "folder of files" and "zip" format when select OVA as source while importing vms since virt-v2v supports

Additional info:
virt-v2v command works well with "folder of files" and "zip" format and "tar" format.

# virt-v2v -i ova /opt/esx-rhel6/ -o rhev -os 10.66.72.27:/home/nfsexport  -on esx-rhel6-ova-file -of raw

# virt-v2v -i ova  -o rhev -os 10.66.72.27:/home/nfsexport esx-rhel6-ova.zip -on esx-rhel6-ova-zip -of raw 

# virt-v2v -i ova  -o rhev -os 10.66.72.27:/home/nfsexport esx-rhel6-ova.tar -on esx-rhel6-ova-tar -of raw

nverified on :  Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Version: 3.6.2-0.1.el6 

verification steps: 
1. yum install virt-v2v on the host 
2. create the ova file. 

for the "folder of files":
create a directory of the un-tar ova file : tar -xvf rhel7.ova 
the folder should contain this files:rhel7-disk1.vmdk  rhel7.mf  rhel7.ovf

[root@dhcp160-245 rhel_7]# pwd
/opt/ova/rhel_7
[root@dhcp160-245 rhel_7]# ls
rhel7-disk1.vmdk  rhel7.mf  rhel7.ovf



for the zip format:
create a directory of the un-tar ova file : tar -xvf rhel7.ova 
the folder should contain this files:rhel7-disk1.vmdk  rhel7.mf  rhel7.ovf
and then create from this file a zip file 
zip rhel.zip rhel7-disk1.vmdk rhel7.mf rhel7.ovf

[root@dhcp160-245 zip]# pwd
/opt/ova/zip
[root@dhcp160-245 zip]# ls
rhel.zip


3. try to import :
1. /opt/ova/zip/rhel.zip
2. /opt/ova/rhel_7


**Note - 
1. this import didn't work without  yum install virt-v2v on the host - should it be mentioned somewhere? and why it is not installed automatically? 
2. importing the zip file and the "folder of files" worked for me only from /opt directory, is that OK ?

(In reply to Shira Maximov from comment #4)
1. this is a known-issue for 3.6 - and its well documented.
2. you should chown 36:36 to each file and to the zip/folder in order for vdsm have access to the files
