Hi,=20

I've written a howto on how to move, a better name would be to copy, virtua=
l hard disk images between hosts.=20
It has been useful for me in the scenario where I need to move them between=
 different datacenters. I still don't understand the formal ways you have t=
o move hard disks between hosts of the same/different data resource, cluste=
r and datacenters so I do it manually.=20

Anyways I wanted you to take a look at it:=20

=20

And tell me:=20
* When it would work, when not.=20
* Pieces of advice.=20
* And if I'm missing something like, I don't know, having to edit some valu=
es at the database.=20

I think that it will be also useful for some kind of restore on disaster sc=
enarios although I'm not sure.=20

I've also used some tricks to deal with sparse files without having to wait=
 for ages.=20
