Hi Andrei,
I think you miss understand the concept of export domain.
Export domain allows you to pass entities from one data center to another.
The flow is:
1) Create an export domain in DC-A
2) Export required entities to the export domain
3) Deactivate (enter the storage domain to maintenance mode) and detach
the export domain
4) Attach the export domain to DC-B and import the entities to it.

One Data Center can have only one Export storage domain, right ?
So 1 (single) export domain used as some kind of shared exchange buffer
(VM “clipboard” in desktop metaphor) in whole oVirt setup, per 1 host
