Provision a VM with ConVirt, using any template from the Common directory. These are HVM templates.
Once done, start the VM.
This will create a config file in the /tmp directory. (with vm name in it.)

Make copy of that file..
Change name, vcpus, memory, disk and network information (vif) in there.

User Import config file option and provide the file created.
Let us know if this works. You can/might have to tweak other things as per need.
