Have you thought about using Ceph? Gluster should work, but Ceph is better
integrated into Proxmox VE.

There are 2 commands qm importdisk and qm importovf (see man page [0]) that
should help you avoid
1. using qemu-img manually and
2. having to know about Proxmox VE naming schemes

If you can export your VMs as OVF, you can use qm importovf which does most
work alone.  If there is no such function, you have to create a VM in Proxmox
VE and import each disk image individually using qm importdisk.

I suggest to get an overview of the migration article in our Wiki [1]. It
doesn't explicitly mention oVirt (yet), but the usage of the import commands
remains the same over all examples.
