As per the subject, is there a plan to allow VM migration? By that I
don't mean the current idea of detaching the export storage and
attaching it to another compatible system. I mean a real migration to
something external to the system the VM is currently on.

At least in my universe, there are times when it is highly desirable or
even necessary to take an Ovirt/RHEV VM and move or copy it to another
system, such as between completely separate Ovirt/RHEV systems or to
other systems such as KVM/Qemu or VirtualBox. The nearest I can manage
right now is to use an imaging tool to make a copy of the drive and
import that into the destination machine. That's slow, cumbersome and
still requires the VMs configuration to be manually duplicated.

regards,
John
