Hi, I have 2 DC's, nfs based and localfs based.
On the nfs dc: 1) I created a nfs export domain, and exported the VM template ( precreated) to my nfs export domain
2) I detached the export domain from nfs dc
On the localfs dc: 1) I attached the export domain to the localfs dc
2) When i select export-domain on the Storage tab, under Details -> template-import, i see the template, but i don't see any option of import there. Basically cannot import the template.
3) When i go to Template tab, the template is seen, but under Cluster column, it still shows the nfs-cluster to which it belongs, not to the localfs cluster. When i try to edit the template, it does not allow me to select the DC, its disabled/greyed and stays as nfs-dc. So even if the template is seen under localfs dc, i cannot use it to create a VM
4) When i try to create a new server / desktop VM, only when i select nfsdc, i get the option of selecting my template, if i select localfs dc, my template is not seen in the drop down box
So unable to use the template to create a new VM in the destination dc.
you can't import the template to same engine more today. you need this implemented first to support re-importing same tempalte and creating new identifiers for the entities. http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/ImportMoreThanOnce
workarounds until then (involve more IO): the image-uploader has logic to do this as well, may worth looking at you can also create a VM from the template, create a new template from it, then export, delete, import. Yes, the image uploader can do this. If you're interested please try

[1] If you want to use the *new* stuff do this... 1. git clone http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-image-uploader 2. git fetch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/ovirt-image-uploader refs/changes/55/2755/1 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD 3. cd ovirt-image-uploader 4. export APP_VERSION=1.0.0; export APP_RELEASE=1 5. make 6. you're done
yes, ugly, hence the feature page above to fix it. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
