How do I import qcow2 VM images in ovirt via Admin Portal?

Question

With oVirt node and engine VM installed, I've added my qcow2 image to the export domain (/nfs/export). I've tried in both the base dir of export domain, and also in the following (where /nfs/export/5d1713e7-4299-418a-9768-d5c138357252 is when export domain is loaded into oVirt):

/nfs/export/5d1713e7-4299-418a-9768-d5c138357252
/nfs/export/5d1713e7-4299-418a-9768-d5c138357252/images
/nfs/export/5d1713e7-4299-418a-9768-d5c138357252/master
/nfs/export/5d1713e7-4299-418a-9768-d5c138357252/master/vms

I don't really see anywhere else that I think would make sense, and none of them resulted in an image showing up when trying to import VM in oVirt Admin Portal from the export domain.

Apparently, you don't need to put the qcow2 image in the export domain.

Instead you can just go to (in Admin Portal):

"Storage" -> "Disks", then in top right press "Upload" and choose "Start" from the drop-down menu. Then you choose the qcow2 file from the location on your local computer, not the machine running oVirt.
