[ovirt-users] Re: Copying/Cloning a VM to another server

Strange.. None of my VMs have the option of Exporting to either OVA or Export Domain. It is grey'd out. It would be awesome if I could do that with them running.

oVirt has proven itself a very very valuable product in my homelab. Tickled to death to run this thing with a few forward facing sites, hosting my own cloud etc. Sent with ProtonMail <https://protonmail.com> Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On May 13, 2018 7:00 AM, Jayme <jaymef(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: You should be able to do this without having to shut vm down On Sun, May 13, 2018, 7:04 AM Alex Bartonek, <Alex(a)unix1337.com&gt; wrote: > Just trying to make sure there isnt an easier way to do what I'm doing. > I dont have an HA environment in my homelab.
