Hello,
I'm doing some tests to import VMs from VMware and verify functionality.
Great newcomer in 4.1

It was added in 4.0, I believe.

Ah, ok. Never tried before from web admin gui.
I confused in release notes of 4.1.0 with the feature:
BZ 1294629 Improve loading external VMs speed

And after about 20 minutes (the original VM has only one thin provisioned disk 4Gb/8Gb) the lock goes away and the status of the VM becomes down and in events pane I get only now the sequence:

Feb 27, 2017 2:20:42 PM Vm T-RHEL6-64 was imported successfully to Data Center Default, Cluster Default

And this is the end of the task.

Yes, I mean that during the 20 minutes elapsed time, it results that no tasks are in execution.
Is this correct because it is considered a sort of external task or is it a bug?

It seems to me not so clear experience for the user importing, especially I imagine in case of more than one import and with big disks.

I guess as always, we could try to improve with progress bar...

I didn't refer to it (see above), but for sure it could be a nice add-on feature to provide.

Actually there is a progress bar for the phase of disks copying (after the 'initialization' phase) in the 'status' column of the virtual machines tab.

And what about the "clone" option? In what is it different from no selection of it?

That means that the VM will be imported as a cloned VM - have different mac addresses, different identifiers for the disks, different identifier for the VM.

Thanks,
Gianluca
