Using the rhevm-image-uploader command, you can list export storage domains and upload virtual machines in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) to an export storage domain and have them automatically recognized in the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. The tool only supports gzip compressed OVF files created by Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization.

The image uploader makes creating distributable virtual machine images practical.

The archive should contain images and master directories that are in the following format:

|-- images
|   |-- [Image Group UUID]
|        |--- [Image UUID (this is the disk image)]
|        |--- [Image UUID (this is the disk image)].meta
|-- master
|   |---vms
|       |--- [UUID]
|             |--- [UUID].ovf
