Same issue, extracted OVA to break upload up, slow connection. All VMDKS reported same error when i tried to make them boot devices, came accross this post and I copied the VMDKs I imported (which didn't register properly, icon was missing) to a new folder on the same datastore on the host, and ESXi inflated them. Proper size was reflected afterwards. Worked like a charm. This was on ESXi 7.0.2 standalone host.
