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DB would be out of date - is it scanning the ovirt directories for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?

easiest would be to export to an nfs export storage domain and import on
the other side from an nfs export storage domain.
then there are hacks (until such a feature of importing a single VM/disk

Ah I see - so there is no functionality that would allow me to move a VM
from one node to another w/o having shared storage, correct ? Is it
possible to export those hosts, similar to VMWare OVF/OVA templates ? That
would suffice for what I need at the moment ..
The idea is to move VMs from a Node with local storage to a different Node
again with only local storage.
Thanks

yes, just add an nfs export domain from the UI, and export to it, detach
it, attach it in the target, then import the VM
(i.e., yes, you can export/import to OVFs)

true.
until storage live migration between nodes without shared storage will
be available sometime in the future.

Are you using local storage on your nodes to store the vm
disks, or a
shared storage?
