[Users] move ovirt vms from one node to other

[Alex Leonhardt]

Ah I see - so there is no functionality that would allow me to move a VM
from one node to another w/o having shared storage, correct ? Is it
possible to export those hosts, similar to VMWare OVF/OVA templates ? That
would suffice for what I need at the moment ..

The idea is to move VMs from a Node with local storage to a different Node
again with only local storage.

Thanks
Alex
