Infrastructure:
VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 19193900
oVirt Version 4.5.4-1.el8
oVirt self-hosted engine
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Export Windows VM Microsoft Windows Server 2019 (64-bit) to OVA/OVF from VSphere with
ovftool.
2. import the VM in oVirt
I don't see an error, apparently everything ends well, but the import fails.
Grep the log /var/log/vdsm/import/import- by message I see:

It seems like you want to migrate from VMware to oVirt. If the OVF import failed, you can
try another solution Vinchin Backup & Recovery to migrate VM. It will help you
directly use VM on oVirt without configuring it.
