Migrating virtual machines with virt-v2v from VMware to RHEV fails with 'SSL read timeout'

Issue

• I am trying to migrate some servers from vmware to rhev.
• When i run the following command I receive this error:

# virt-v2v -ic esx://vmware-hostname.local/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -osd 192.168.0.2:/home/data/export --network rhevm Virtual.MAchine+Sample-Name
