I didn't realized it's possible to do it this way, thanks for
information, will try it.

Btw will it be possible to migrate virtual machines from one
datacenter to another one? Or for migration hosts need to share
storage for virtual machine images. If this isn't possible, is it be
possible to export host in one datacenter and import it in another?

Thanks, Adam
