Screenshot indeicates that the error is taking place during engine-setup.

looking at the setup logs:

Looks like the ovf xml file is not complete. It's at least missing mandatory value: {http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/envelope/1/}disk-alias that should exist also if empty.

Please ensure that the OVF you're importing is a rhev-m compatible OVF with a structure like:
              |-- images
              |   |-- <Image Group UUID>
              |        |--- <Image UUID (this is the disk image)>
              |        |--- <Image UUID (this is the disk image)>.meta
              |-- master
              |   |---vms
              |       |--- <UUID>
              |             |--- <UUID>.ovf


and a <UUID>.ovf file confroming to OVF 1 envelope schema:  http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/envelope/1/

Comment 4 Fabian Deutsch 2014-09-29 12:14:52 UTC
The OVA is actually created by koji/brew, so no interaction from our side.

Are you using some library to parse the ovf?

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2014-09-29 12:27:44 UTC
Yes, I use generateDS.py to generate a parser ovfenvelope.py from the OVF schema.

Is koji/brew building a rhev-m compatible OVF? Can you import it inside a running RHEV-M instance without using v2v?

I'm double checking this, but actually yes - it has two ova formats OS and RHEV - and I'm using the rhev format, i.e.:

Comment 10 wanghui 2014-10-10 10:56:37 UTC
Test version:
rhev-hypervisor7-7.0-20141006.0.el7ev
ovirt-node-3.1.0-0.20.20141006gitc421e04.el7.noarch.rpm
ovirt-node-plugin-hosted-engine-0.2.0-2.0.el7.x86_64
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.2.1-1.el7.noarch
ovirt-host-deploy-1.3.0-1.el7.noarch
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-1.2.2-2.el7.noarch

Test steps:
1. Clean install rhev-hypervisor7-7.0-20141006.0.el7ev
2. File ova path in TUI
3. Click <Setup Hosted Engine>

Test result:
1. No such issue now. And vm can be created from OVA file.

So this issue should be fixed in ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.2.1-1.el7.noarch.

Thanks!
