How to move VM between datacenter?
by msjang＠kisti.re.kr
Hi ALL.
I run two data centers:
DC1 with storage type as shared,
DC2 with storage type as local.
I want to move a VM in DC1 to DC2 and vice versa. No Live migration needs.
I attached NFS storage to DC2, but It does not shown on DC1. Can I add the same NFS storage to DC1 with different name and same export path?
Sincerey yours.

How to create image repo like default one? I want to serve custom images to users.
by msjang＠kisti.re.kr
Hi, All.
I want to proviode image repo like default one (ovirt-image-repository) to serve custom image to users.
My quesions are:
1) How can I create a repo with image type?
It looks like openstack glance service, but I have no experience to install it as a standalone.
2) How can I add new storage domain with image type?
There are no image type on Storage > Storage Domain > New Domain in oVirt 4.5.
I've got lots of help from this mailing list.
Thank you.

nested virtualization and promiscuous mode
by P F
I want to run a VM, which will itself be the KVM host of a number of KVM guests.
Each of the guests running in that nested environment will have a vNIC with an IP address on the same subnet as the top-level hypervisor (the ovirt node).
In VMware vSphere environments I was able to do this by enabling promiscuous mode and forged transmits on the VMware distributed switch port group, as described in this medium article;
https://williamlam.com/2013/11/why-is-promiscuous-mode-forged.html
I've search a number of old threads here on the ovirt list archives. Many refer to vdsm hooks that don't appear to exist any longer in ovirt 4.5.1.
How can I accomplish the same thing in ovirt?

Please how can i fix it.
I will be most grateful, if you can share with me any instance messenger (Skype, discord or telegram) for fast communications.
