Hi,
     I have 2 DC's, nfs based and localfs based.

On the nfs dc:
1) I created a nfs export domain, and exported the VM template ( 
precreated) to my nfs export domain

2) I detached the export domain from nfs dc

On the localfs dc:
1) I attached the export domain to the localfs dc

2) When i select  export-domain on the Storage tab, under Details -> 
template-import, i see the
template, but i don't see any option of import there.  Basically cannot 
import the template.

3) When i go to Template tab, the template is seen, but under Cluster 
column, it still shows
the nfs-cluster to which it belongs, not to the localfs cluster. When i 
try to edit the template,
it does not allow me to select the DC, its disabled/greyed and stays as 
nfs-dc. So even if the template
is seen under localfs dc, i cannot use it to create a VM

4) When i try to create a new server / desktop VM, only when i select 
nfsdc, i get the option of selecting my template, if i select localfs 
dc, my template is not seen in the drop down box

So unable to use the template to create a new VM in the destination dc.
