Title:
  Unable to boot VM using image exported from Virtual Center

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. From Virtual Center, export a working VM as an OVA file (test.ova)
  2. Upload OVA file to glance using:
  glance image-create --name=testova --disk-format=vmdk --container-format=ovf --is-public=True --property vmware_adaptertype="ide" --property vmware_disktype="preallocated" < testimages/test.ova

  
  actual result:
  The boot appears to succeed and the VM appears running, but the console shows "Operating system not found".
  Also:
  - I have tried with --property vmware_disktype="sparse" and the result is the same
  - Trying with --container-format="ova" gives:
  400 Bad Request
  Invalid container format 'ova' for image.
  (HTTP 400)

  Expected: 
  Able to boot into OS and see the login screen
