3) shut down VMs

4) disconnect storage from DC1

5) import same storage into DC2

6) import VMs from that storage and optionally move VM disks to storage local to DC2. 

Works fine for a dozen VMs until last Friday when I tried to import another 13 VMs into DC2 and VM import shows only 6. I can see disks in Disk import tab, but not VMs. 

I guess this is related to the fact that some of the VMs to be moved are based on a template that is still on DC1. But how do I move these VMs then? I can't move the template as 

1) I still need it in DC1

2) it doesn't have any disks attached, so I can't really do the same steps to move it. 

Any ideas are very welcome here. 

Thanks a lot.
