Copying VM from one datacenter to another
Hello! De facto; I have two datacenter: - 1 with one host, configured with local storage, just added in the engine; - 1 with 3 host, 2 shared storage domain, 1 ISO and 1 Export For some backup reasons ( cold backup) I want to copy machines from second Datacenter to the Local-storage one. Is there some documented way of doing this? Any hints, thoughts, similar experience? Thanks!
Hi, AFAIK the way to copy a vm from one DC to another is: 1. Export vm to export domain 2. deactivate + detach export domain from source DC 3. attach and activate export domain to target dc 4. import the vm Gadi Ickowicz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gabi C" <gabicr@gmail.com> To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 10:56:25 AM Subject: [ovirt-users] Copying VM from one datacenter to another Hello!

Hello! I was thinking about this one to, but detaching export from source DC wouldn't bring DC down? Thanks! On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 11:17 AM, Gadi Ickowicz <gickowic@redhat.com> wrote:

It shouldn't - that is the whole point of an export domain - do be able to move it between DCs Gadi Ickowicz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gabi C" <gabicr@gmail.com> To: "Gadi Ickowicz" <gickowic@redhat.com> Cc: users@ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 11:23:55 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Copying VM from one datacenter to another Hello!
