It would be awesome if I could do that with them running. Yeah, that capability of exporting running VMs was discussed (and I even started implementing it half a year ago [1]) but is not yet available.

I have 3 VM's and I wanted to copy them to my backup r710 which runs oVirt 4.2. I basically shut down my VM, exported it to an export domain on my primary r710. Then detached the export domain on the primary. On my "standby" r710 I imported the export domain from the primary r710, attached, activated and imported the VM. Worked as expected. >>> >>> I'm assuming this is the correct way to do so. I've tried Export to OVA but that didnt work like I wanted and I didnt care to keep messing with that option.
