Thanks.
BTW: the permissions of the ova were ok.

I see this text near the end of the file generated into
/var/log/vdsm/import

Can we take a sort of generic linux in case? I don't think there could be
anything special in Ubuntu... or at least let the admin fix anything trying
some resuce operation after the VM has been created.

Is virtio-win package still current? In case from where to download it?
I read here:
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/windows-guest-tools/
and installied ovirt-guest-tools-iso package that gives:

[g.cecchi at ovmsrv05 ~]$ ll /usr/share/ovirt-guest-tools-iso/

and mounting as a loop device the iso I have inside it:
