Ah I see - so there is no functionality that would allow me to move a VM from one node to another w/o having shared storage, correct ? Is it possible to export those hosts, similar to VMWare OVF/OVA templates ? That would suffice for what I need at the moment .. The idea is to move VMs from a Node with local storage to a different Node again with only local storage. Thanks Alex 2012/10/24 Itamar Heim <iheim@redhat.com>

local storage .. sorry, shoud have clarified ..
easiest would be to export to an nfs export storage domain and import on the other side from an nfs export storage domain.
then there are hacks (until such a feature of importing a single VM/disk from an existing storage domain is available[1])

hi,
i was wondering how it'd be possible to move a existing VM (ovirt kvm vm) from one Ovirt node to another ?? Is it just a matter of copying the directory to the other node and restarting ovirt ?? i'd imagine that the DB would be out of date - is it scanning the ovirt directories for existing hosts during start and fill in the DB with their details -or- would I have to create new VMs and copy over the existing disks ?? better yet, is there a way to backup the ovirt mgmt host configuration and restore it to a different host?
alex
Are you using local storage on your nodes to store the vm disks, or a shared storage?
