You will find lots of posts that talk about converting or extracting.OVA file to .OVF, which is simple to do.
$ tar -xvf file-name.ova
Converting the other way around is useful as well. ( make sure you have ovftool utility installed on your system )
$ ovftool file-name.ovf file-name.ova
And that's it.. The conversion process will take sometime and the files will be ready for deployment.
