<div>ok, so the process seems pretty obtuse, so let me run this by the list here and maybe I'm just not doing it the best way. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) i connected an export domain called EXPORTNFS. the nfs share is physically on my management server (as is iso)</div>
<div>2) exported 1 VM.</div>
<div>3) on the mgmt server, i run "tar zxcf /root/test.tgz /opt/export/[UUID]/images /opt/export/[UUID]/master"</div>
<div>4) for good measure, i use ovirt web gui to delete the exported VM from the export</div>
<div>5) run the command 'engine-image-uploader –u admin@internal upload test.tgz –v –e EXPORTNFS</div>
<div>6) after a while, it completes and i see the VM back in the export storage tab under VM Import.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>i didn't run the vm yet, but I'm assuming thats a successful export and import.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>so, it seems if i wanted to export each and every VM from one separate ovirt to another, i would export each VM, tar-gzip it, clear it from the webgui, and start the next one? IE.. i mean it looks like engine-image-uploader would be pretty unhappy with
finding more than one set of VM UUIDs inside?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>is this the way it should be done, or am i doing it the hard way?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>thanks!</div>

<div>My production deployment is approaching soon, so i am trying to get some final tasks and concepts completed before that day arrives. Lets say, that i have a working domain, but that an impending disaster is about to destroy the whole thing. How can i
get the Vms out, and then how can i reverse this and get them into a completely new and unrelated/unconnected ovirt domain?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any advice, or a doc or link would be much appreciated.</div>
