Engine log with the fail occurrence.

oVirt has an interface at the "Virtual Machines" tab that permits the user to import a OVA VMWare VM.

A dummy VM was generated for VMWare from a CentOS 6 64bits template.
In order to import this VM from VMWare vSphere to oVirt, the events tab says: "Failed to import Vm TestOVA to Data Center node5, Cluster node5"


The logs at ovirt-engine.log says:
"Conversion of VM from exteral enironment failed: Job u'6aa362ee-09ca-4e2f-85c3-3a1c6d6ef4e0' process failed exit-code: 1, stderr: virt-v2v: error: internal error: Not_found exception was thrown"


My workaround for this error was execute a conversion of the OVA file to a raw VM using virt-v2v and then export it to my oVirt Export Volume:
# export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct #(https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2110391)
# virt-v2v -v -x -i ova VM_NAME.ova -o local -of raw -os $TMPDIR
# virt-v2v -v -x -i libvirtxml VM_NAME.xml -o rhev -os nas.ped.datacom.ind.br:/nas/vol-export --network rhevm

And then edit the new OVF file inside the vol-export volume in order to insert a MACAddress value (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2695501).


Software versions:
- oVirt Engine Version: 4.0.5.5-1.el7.centos
- VMWare vSphere 5.5 release 3248547

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate a dummy VM from CentOS 6 64bits template at VMWare vSphere.
2. Export the VM as OVA file.
3. Try to import the VM to oVirt over the "Import" interface at the "Virtual Machines" tab.

Actual results:
Events tab says: "Failed to import Vm TestOVA to Data Center node5, Cluster node5"

Expected results:
VM TestOVA Successful imported.
