I have my current ovirt 3.3.2 AIO setup running on old hardware that I wish to move to new hardware. All my VMs and associated virtual disks are on a single physical disk. I can’t seem to find a nice way to “export” that disk and VMs, remove it, and re-import the whole mess into a new hypervisor. (at least w/o not having to bounce it all off of another NFS datastore…) I don’t want to cluster them as they are significantly different hardware, and I want to keep them as separate environments anyways… _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Well, I actually wanted to move the physical disk. There was 2TB of data on it, and I didn’t want to move it via a GB network connection. I ended up doing it using basically the method I posted yesterday…I shutdown the old oVirt system, moved the disk to the new system. Created a new data domain on the disk, then created new VMs and disks in the new data domain, after the new disk was created, I just moved it from the directory of the old data domain/VM into the new one and fired up the VM. Instead of waiting hours and hours for 2TB of data to be copied, I moved my 4 VMs in a few minutes. A way to attach an existing on-disk VM image is really needed.
