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. I have 3 VM's and I wanted to copy them to my backup r710 which runs oVirt 4.2. I basically shut down my VM, exported it to an export domain on my primary r710. Then detached the export domain on the primary. On my "standby" r710 I imported the export domain from the primary r710, attached, activated and imported the VM. Worked as expected. I'm assuming this is the correct way to do so. I've tried Export to OVA but that didnt work like I wanted and I didnt care to keep messing with that option.

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.

Is there an ETA on a release?
