Thanks for the prompt response! How does one edit the OVF?
I'm CCing this on the libguestfs mailing list so others can use it.
Assuming you're using '-o rhev' mode, which I guess you must be, you
will need to look in the Export Storage Domain directory after the
run. There will be a directory in there called something like
//esd_server/mountpoint/<UUID>/master/vms/<VM_UUID>/
which will contain the OVF file (<VM_UUID>.ovf)
And that is the file you can edit. Make sure you keep the file
ownership as 36:36 (I think vdsm:vdsm), else oVirt won't be able to
read the file after you have edited it.
