Move Export Domain across web via NFS verses Rsync Image
Hello all, We have a several oVirt data centers mostly using oVirt 4.1.9 and NFS backed storage. I'm planning a move for what will eventually be an exported VM, from one physical location to another one. Is there any reason it would be problematic to export the image and then use rsync to migrate the image directory to a different export domain? Thanks, Matt

So, you're saying you export to an Export Domain (NFS), detach, and then rsync that somewhere else (a different NFS system) and try to attach that an Export(import) Domain to a different datacenter and import? Sounds like it should work to me.

Yea. Exactly as you described below. If there's any reason this would be a problem, I'd love to hear others chime in. Thanks Matt
