IE.. i mean it looks like engine-image-uploader= would be pretty unhappy with finding more than one set of VM UUIDs inside? is this the way it should be done, or am i doing it the hard way? thanks! jonathan From: Jonathan Horne <jhorne@skopos.us<mailto:jhorne@skopos.us>> Date: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 8:02 AM To: "users@ovirt.org<mailto:users@ovirt.org>" <users@ovirt.org<mailto:users= @ovirt.org>> Subject: [Users] theoretical scenario My production deployment is approaching soon, so i am trying to get some fi= nal tasks and concepts completed before that day arrives. Lets say, that i= have a working domain, but that an impending disaster is about to destroy = the whole thing. How can i get the Vms out, and then how can i reverse thi= s and get them into a completely new and unrelated/unconnected ovirt domain= ? Any advice, or a doc or link would be much appreciated.
