Hello,

I have two different oVirt 4.2 environments and I want to migrate some big VMs from one to another. 

I'm not able to detach and attach the block based domain where are the disks of source.

And I cannot use export domain functionality.

you can export them to ova on some device that can later be mounted to the destination environment.

this is similar to the export domain functionality - but you didn't specify why the export domain functionality is not applicable for you.

Ah, ok, thanks. 

I think you are referring to this feature page and I see in my 4.2.7 env I can do it for a powered off VM:

https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/enhance-import-export-with-ova.html

I will try

Are the two described TBD features:

- export as ova also a running VM

- stream to export to ovirt-imageio daemon

supposed to be included in 4.3, or is there already a planned target release for them?

BTW: would it be possible to export as ova on a path on host that is an NFS share, bypassing export domain setup, or does it require local storage?
