[Users] Possible migration from oVirt to RHEV?

Hello, Doing some RnD and was wondering if it's possible to move from Fedora/oVirt to RHEL/RHEV anytime in future for a production system if required.
From the technical possibility point of view.
Thanks, -B

Hi, The reason is most likely to have a stable production environment with support and to have oVirt as a testing environment. For the migration process: - Implement your RHEV environment - Create an export domain within RHEV, but don't attach it to your RHEV datacenter - Attach your export domain to oVirt datacenter - Export your vms - Detach export domain on oVirt and attach it in RHEV - Import your vms Did move a few vms from oVirt to RHEV and it worked fine. Just make sure that you change to MAC range as oVirt and RHEV use the same range and this will cause problems when you have vms with conflicting MAC addresses. -- Best regards René Koch Senior Solution Architect ============================================ ovido gmbh - "Das Linux Systemhaus" Brünner Straße 163, A-1210 Wien Phone: +43 720 / 530 670 Mobile: +43 660 / 512 21 31 E-Mail: r.koch@ovido.at ============================================ On Sun, 2013-03-10 at 14:11 -0700, Bashar wrote:

Sparing the gory details as Saint stated the best (and cleanest) way would be to export all VM's to an export domain managed by your ovirt-engine running under Fedora. The detach that storage domain. You'd then want to re-attach that storage domain to a RHEV manager and re-import them. The obvious things of course which will be lost is Quota, permissions, and locations of VM/templates within storage domains or attached networks. - DHC On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 2:42 PM, Saint Keimond <st.keimond@gmail.com> wrote:
