Description Tomas Jelinek 2017-03-29 13:00:24 UTC 
A known limitation needs to be added to the import of virtual machines from external provider (e.g. vmware) explaining that:

If the CPU of the VM before import is different than the one configured in the ovirt cluster (edit cluster->general->cpu type) than the VM's custom CPU type has to be configured after import to match the VM's CPU (in edit VM -> system -> Advanced Parameters -> Custom CPU Type).

We can not do it automatically so far and the support on libguestfs layer is far away [1], so needs to be documented as a known limitation.
