I'm replying to my own email as I managed to resolve the issue.

Sometimes it helps to RTFM.

I had to remove the export domain that I created on cluster2, as well as detach the original export domain on cluster1, before I could attach the original export domain to cluster2, as you can only have one export domain attached at a time.

Hi guys,

I need to move a VM from one cluster (cluster1) using FC storage with 4 hosts, to a separate cluster (cluster 2) with only 1 NEW host that has local storage only.

What would be the best way to do this?

All I aim to achieve is to have a single NEW host that has local storage that I can run a single VM on, which is manageable via oVirt, so even if it means adding the NEW host as a separate DC, how can I copy or move (not live) the VM to this new host?

I've tried exporting the VM to an export domain on cluster1, but I can't seem to figure out how to "attach" the export domain to cluster2 with the NEW host.

If I go to "Import VM" on cluster2, I get a message saying "Not available when no export domain is active" if I try and attach the same export domain that was used to export the VM in cluster1, it says I can't because it's already assigned to the cluster, so I'm really confused as to how to go about doing this.

Any help and guidance is appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards.

Neil Wilson.
