I'm trying to build a little program that will help me migrate a couple of oVirt installation to Proxmox v9 and thought I could write a simple javascript program to help me with that.
Sofar it seems to work except that when I import the resulting VM using the WebUI I get an error message where it states that the path isn't correct but when using `qm importovf 105 test.ovf local-lvm` its imported fine. Not all hardware is setup correctly but its close.
The WebUI error is:
unable to parse directory volume name 'import/583be0ff-3252-4f01-a592-01b353ac9f86' (500)

From the 'Resulting Config' tab:
local-lvm:0,import-from=oVirt-Export:import/583be0ff-3252-4f01-a592-01b353ac9f86
I have another ovf that imports fine using the WebUI and that shows a similar text when looking at the 'Resulting Config' tab:
local-lvm:0,import-from=oVirt-Export:import/disk-0.vmdk
So, spot the difference :) besides the filename which in both cases is present and readable by the user.

I'm tempted to debug the import process but have trouble finding the source to have a look at.

Anyone willing to help me out?

Generated ovf files can be uploaded if needed.

Thanks,
