Diagnosing these failures is infuriatingly difficult as the UI
generally hides the true reason for the failure.
There are two log files of interest. The first is stored on the
RHV-M server itself, and is called
F</var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log>
There are several log files of interest:
The second file, which is the most useful, is found on the SPM host
(SPM stands for "Storage Pool Manager"). This is a RHV node that is
elected to do all metadata modifications in the data center, such as
image or snapshot creation. You can find out which host is the
current SPM from the "Hosts" tab "Spm Status" column. Once you have
located the SPM, log into it and grab the file
F</var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log> which will contain detailed error messages
from low-level commands.

In oVirt E<ge> 4.1.0, VDSM preserves the virt-v2v log file for
30 days in this directory.
This directory is found on the host which performed the conversion.
The host can be selected in the import dialog, or can be found under
the C<Events> tab in oVirt administration.
=item F</var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log>
As above, this file is present on the host which performed the
conversion. It contains detailed error messages from low-level
operations executed by VDSM, and is useful if the error was not caused
by virt-v2v, but by VDSM.
=item F</var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log>
This log file is stored on the RHV-M server. It contains more detail
for any errors caused by the oVirt GUI.
