Re: [ovirt-users] help, manager hard drive died (3.3.4)

Hey Bob, Get this.. So this process worked great for one of the nfs servers, however, we had two nfs servers. One was a primary data center (master) and the other non-master. When I try to import the non-master data directory with the metadata file edit method, it imports but then shows no VMs/templates/etc available for import. On the other hand, when i activate the master data center nfs filesystem, i can see VMs that were stored on the non-master NFS, if I try to import them, it blows an error, the files aren't there, and I look at the log on the hv manager and I see the folder that it's looking for which is on the non-master NFS. Right now I'm trying to copy the folders over from the non-master nfs to the imported master data (now export domain) to see if I can import those VMs. I wonder if there's a better way to import VMs from a non-master domain.
