hi,
i was wondering how it'd be possible to move a existing VM (ovirt kvm vm) from one Ovirt node to another ?? Is it just a matter of copying the directory to the other node and restarting ovirt ?? i'd imagine that the DB would be out of date - is it scanning the ovirt directories for existing hosts during start and fill in the DB with their details -or- would I have to create new VMs and copy over the existing disks ?? better yet, is there a way to backup the ovirt mgmt host configuration and restore it to a different host?
alex
Are you using local storage on your nodes to store the vm disks, or a shared storage?
