Note that the logic that is applied on a specified folder is "try fetching
an 'ova folder' out of the destination folder" rather than "list all the
ova files inside the specified folder". It seems that you expected the
former output since there are no disks in that folder, right?

Thanks.
Alright, so now the configuration is fetched but its processing fails.
We fixed many issues in this area recently, but it appears that something
is wrong with the actual size of the disk within the ovf file that resides
inside this ova file.
Can you please share that ovf file that resides inside /ova/HAAS-hpdio.ova?

This issue is also resolved in 4.2.2.
In the meantime, please create the  /var/log/ovirt-engine/ova/ folder
manually and make sure its permissions match the ones of the other folders
in  /var/log/ovirt-engine.
