Is > there a better way? you need the template on each DC (until you would be able to mix types of storage domains and use a shared NFS for the template for example). this feature should allow you to import it more than once, but not implemented yet: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/ImportMoreThanOnce that hints your current solution will not work, since you cannot import the same object today more than once (even to another DC). since this is local storage, you can hack it a bit and just create a template with the disk on all DCs, then dd/rsync the real one to override the created disk in all local storage.
