Hi Russ, Could it be that you're over-thinking this? Why can't Ovirt simply export VMs to a standard format, preferably of course one already used elsewhere, such as ovf? That way it's a straight one-to-one. regards, John On 06/08/14 08:57, R P Herrold wrote:

As per the subject, is there a plan to allow VM migration? By that I import that into the destination machine. That's slow, cumbersome and still requires the VMs configuration to be manually duplicated. The problem we have run into when trying to implement automated assistance on image migrations between different backing store, is that the bootloader / initrd fixups are not deterministic and 'doable' as between grub, grub2, and other 'first stage'
I would love a solution, but after much experimentation, I just don't see a good path to solving this in a general form. (it is not a many spokes to one common interchange format, and then one to new spoke transition, but rather a many to many problem)
Perhaps the libguestfs uplift mentioned for a few months from now with the RHEL 7.1 updates will help
