Re: [ovirt-users] Is there a plan to allow VM migration?
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

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
