This wasn’t documented anywhere that I saw but with the help of Itamar Heim and an well timed email to the list from Igor Lvovsky last night I was able to do this and wanted to send to the list a documented procedure for how to modify the metadata of the data domain prior to import as an export domain. This procedure works for both RHEV-M and Ovirt. Let me know if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Consolas'>Original Data
