I retried with another VM, monitoring this time the behavior and I see at 15:45 the message Starting to convert Vm T-RHEL5-64 Then up to 16:04 it remains in "Initializing" Only at 16:04 it begins the copying phase, with a "qemu-img convert" command at host side that starts copying from an image in /var/tmp to the chosen storage domain with an elapsed of about 3 minutes and final completion Previously I missed the final minutes of the process, so that I noticed only the "Initializing" Status step and the final "Down" Status of the VM.... > >> >> And what about the "clone" option?

This explains why I get this message while importing a VM without selecting "clone": VM T-RHEL7 has MAC address(es) 00:50:56:b0:0c:7d, which is/are out of its MAC pool definitions. ? In this case to assign an oVirt MAC between the setup ones, only way is to remove and add a new one or what?
