+
+## Create storage pool
+
+```
+# mkdir /var/lib/libvirt/Appliances
+# virsh pool-define-as Appliances --type dir --target /var/lib/libvirt/Appliances
+# virsh pool-start Appliances
+
+# virsh pool-autostart Appliances
+```
+
+Or use GUI...
+
+## Import OVA into libvirt/KVM
+
+```
+# virt-v2v \
+     -i ova /root/third_party_appliance.ova \ 
+     -o libvirt -of qcow2 \
+     -os Appliances -n default
+
+```
+
+The options read as:
+
+* `-i ova /root/third_party_appliance.ova` ==  input is an ova file called `/root/third_party_appliance.ova`
+* `-o libvirt -of qcow2` == output a libvirt VM in a qcow2 file format
+* `-os Appliances` == place the output VM in the Appliances pool
+* `-n default` == configure the VM to use the default network
+
+Sample output:
+```
+[   0.0] Opening the source -i ova third_party_appliance.ova
+[   0.1] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified
+[   0.1] Initializing the target -o libvirt -os Appliances
+[   0.1] Opening the overlay
+[  13.7] Inspecting the overlay
+[  14.6] Checking for sufficient free disk space in the guest
+[  14.6] Estimating space required on target for each disk
+[  14.6] Converting Windows 7 Enterprise to run on KVM
+[  15.0] Mapping filesystem data to avoid copying unused and blank areas
+[  15.4] Closing the overlay
+[  15.6] Checking if the guest needs BIOS or UEFI to boot
+[  15.6] Assigning disks to buses
+[  15.6] Copying disk 1/1 to /var/lib/libvirt/Appliances/third_party_appliance-sda (qcow2)
+   (100.00/100%)
+[ 132.3] Creating output metadata
+Pool Appliances refreshed
+[ 132.5] Finishing off
