Don's know where are your datacenters. If both of your datacenters are managed by oVirt, You can export the existing VM in datacenter. And then let the other datacenter to import it.

You should create export domain (nfs but still locally on same machine) and import existing image to this domain. After succesfull import you can restore machine to your local images domain and start VM. -- Michal
