Dear list,
When cloning a VM, is it possible to select the data domain to which it would clone.
I have two data domains attached to my cluster and it automatically clone the VM to the
master one.
Best,
Yohan.

Clones are not copies, but rather built using snapshots, which is why
they are on the same storage domain(s) as the original disk(s).

Ok, I understand.
So two steps: clone and move the VMs to another data domain.
Thank You.

That is incorrect. Disks of a VM that was cloned from an existing VM *are*
copies of the disks the latter.
The process of cloning a VM from an existing VM is similar to cloning a VM
from a snapshot. When cloning from a snapshot we enable the user to choose
a target storage domain for each disk. We don't provide this option in the
webadmin when cloning from an existing VM. There is a chance, however, that
it works from REST-API since both operationgs use similar parameters and
the same code for creating the disks. Need to try.
