FWIW, a screenshot that i cannot create a "copy" of the template either - and I have verified mulitple tims that the host name does not go beyond 40 chars incl. the suffix - the template name does have "."s in its name though (like a normal FQDN).

See attached.

Hi All,

Am having some difficulties with restoring templates -

basically, currently, I'm using each new HV (hyper-visor/node) as a separate DC, now, the first host has about 5 VM templates that I need to be able to restore to the 2nd HV I installed today - however - after detaching the export domain and re-attaching (finally) to the 2nd HV, I still am unable to import the templates into the 2nd HV (remember, separate data center) as it complains that the "system" - the overall ovirt-engine - already contains templates with the same ID, if I manually fake a different ID, it complains about the name, if I manually amend the name, it wont show at all ... :\

so - how can I make the templates available to the 2nd DC to create VMs from it (this is the end goal) ...

on top of it - i dont think that when importing templates, you should have to make the name unique, especially since they currently seem DC dependent, so in a different DC they should be able to have the same name; and, when restoring Templates, the system should assign new IDs to the Templates imported, and only use the originals as a verification step if the target DC is the same as the src DC.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Ta!
Alex
