We have a NFS storage cluster (Isilon) for the domain.

The main question: is there a way to bring in an existing storage domain
to a new engine without exporting it then importing it?  This would be
good for not just upgrades but also disaster recovery as well.

So, after many frustrating weekends of trying to upgrade ovirt from 3.1,
I have come to the conclustion that it would just be best to export all

with FC19 and ovirt 3.3.  Is there a way to export the entire domain
easily? Or to bring the entire domain into a new install of the engine?

Exporting a single VM takes a very long while.  It would take a couple
of days to export all of our VM's (33 total vm's using 1.017 TB of data)
and then reimport them using the normal means of exporting the machines
off then on to the export domain, load the new engine server then import
them all back in.


Any tips or tricks would be welcome.

do you have a single data domain in the DC?
is it nfs or something else?

FYI, I ran into just about every single bug that people had when
upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 and a few more.  I can't spend any more time
troubleshooting the upgrade process.  If we can't do the export->import
easily or migrate the current storage domain we will probably have to
get rid of ovirt and move to another solution.
