[ovirt-devel] Live export/import

[Christopher Pereira]

Hi,

I would like to migrate a VM between two different ovirt installations with minimum down time.

Using a export domain is slow (requires copying twice) and requires to stop the VM.

It seems like the best option is to 1) create a snapshot, 2) transfer the backing chain images and OVF files to the destination storage domain 3) stop the VM, 4) transfer the active snapshot and 5) import the VM from the destination storage domain.

Can you please comment and suggest other alternatives?

Thanks.
