7:44 p.m.
I checked for the Fast Startup feature, which I figured wouldn't be enabled, and
it's not even configurable.
I tried, again, to import from vCenter and got error "All chosen VMs couldn't be
retrieved by the external system and therefore have been filtered. Please see log for
details." When I look at the log, there's nothing there referencing the error.
Not even sure I'm looking in the right place.
I fired up the VM, double verified Fast Startup was disabled, shut down the VM again, and
exported it as an OVF (folder of files). Tried to import as Windows 2019 x64, same error
as before ("Cannot import VM. Invalid time zone for given OS type."). Tried to
import as Other OS, failed, event ID 1153. I get the below error log from the import log:

And this from the vdsm.log file right around when the import log ends:

Not sure what's going on, since the folder that the OVF is accessible from is an SMB
mount in /mnt/ (mount dir: /mnt/vmexports). It's mounted rw, even, in case it needs
it, and the uid:gid is set 36:36.
Below are links to the screenshot of the directory listing for the mount point, as well as
the vdsm and import logs. Something's not clicking with me, and it may just be that
I've been wrestling with this issue for so long that my brain's gotten clouded.
Thanks for the help, guys.
