If you download an image of type VBOX, then the hypervisor type stored in the database is 'VMWARE'. It should be 'VBOX'

I have not tried with XEN or KVM.

The image format is extracted from the mandatory attribute ''format'' on Disk element.

As explained on the OVF standard the format should be defined as an URI where the disk format is explained.

We have problems finding this URI for all our supported hypervisors an define the follow convention:

KVM = "http://kvm"
VBOX = "http://vbox"
XEN = "http://xen"
VMWARE = "http://www.vmware.com/specifications/vmdk.html#sparse"
VMWARE_COMPRESSED = "http://www.vmware.com/specifications/vmdk.html#compressed"
VMWARE_STREAM_OPTIMIZED = "http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specifications/vmdk.html#streamOptimized"

see http://community.abiquo.com/display/AbiCloud/Repository+Space for more details.

So, please verify the OVF being used follow this convention
