Verified with:
ovirt-engine-4.4.7.4-0.9.el8ev.noarch

Steps:
1. Create a VM with disk and nic(used template latest-rhel-guest-image-8.3-infra)
2. Export the VM as OVA
3. Remove the VM
4. Import the OVA as template via API:
<external_template_import>
  <template>
    <name>test_template</name>
  </template>
  <cluster id="ebe46dfb-b465-48a5-b12e-a4282c0ec8c8" />
  <storage_domain id="91ada0e9-c34d-4e06-9f1d-d91ec5ada62d" />
  <url>ova:///root/test.ova</url>
  <host id="192294f9-a1ed-44f4-bcad-8bbc88c71d1f" />
</external_template_import>
5. Create a VM from the imported template
6. Start, stop, migrate the VM

Results:
1. Importing OVA as template succeeds.
2. Creating VM from the imported template succeeds.
3. Starting, stopping, migrating VM created from the imported template succeed.
