First you need to look at vdsm log to see more details why it failed.

Try to run virt-v2v -i ova -o local to import the ova to local disk (see the
virt-v2v man page for more options) and see if that pass - the errors can be
more detailed there (it suppose to reflect the same error that you get in vdsm
log)., another options you can do is run virt-v2v in verbose mode (virt-v2v
-v).
