Ah I see - so there is no functionality that would allow me to move a VM from one node to another w/o having shared storage, correct ? Is it possible to export those hosts, similar to VMWare OVF/OVA templates ? That would suffice for what I need at the moment .. <div>

easiest would be to export to an nfs export storage domain and import on the other side from an nfs export storage domain.<br>
<br>
then there are hacks (until such a feature of importing a single VM/disk from an existing storage domain is available[1])<br>

Are you using local storage on your nodes to store the vm disks, or a<br>
shared storage?<br>
