I notice that only one of the two VMs contained in the .ovf archive was uploaded (c2). Does engine-image-uploader support more than one VM in ovf file or do I need to leave inside it only the files related to one VM at a time?

Ok. I extracted the ovf and removed the files of one VM (c2) and then created a new ovf and was able to upload the other VM now (infra) I was also able to import the VM, add a nic to it and start ok on the new infrastructure.
SO far so good. This way implies power off of the source VM. Is there a way to export a running VM or is it on the roadmap? Or some way to make a snapshot of a running VM and export it without powering down the original VM?
you can take a live snapshot. i don't remember if we allow exporting a snapshot of a running VM (no technical reason not to). if we for some reason don't, you could clone the snapshot to a VM, then export that VM (ugly, so i hope we support exporting a snapshot of a running VM)
