I still don't understand the formal ways you have to move hard disks between hosts of the same/different data resource, cluster and datacenters so I do it manually.<br><br> Anyways I wanted you to take a look at it:<br><br>http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/Virtual_Machines_Images_Raw_Management<br><br>And tell me:<br>* When it would work, when not.<br>* Pieces of advice.<br>* And if I'm missing something like, I don't know, having to edit some values at the database.<br><br>I think that it will be also useful for some kind of restore on disaster scenarios although I'm not sure.<br><br>I've also used some tricks to deal with sparse files without having to wait for ages.<br><br>-- <br><div><span name="x"></span><font style="font-weight: bold;" size="3"><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.btactic.com/"><span id="DWT100"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></span></font></span></a></font><font style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';" color="#5f5f5f" face="Arial" size="1"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><font style="font-family: helvetica;" size="2"><strong>Adrián Gibanel</strong><br>I.T.
