I also have an export domain which is connected to oVirt 3.3 and RHEV
3.2 where I can move vms between these environments. With the export
domain you can also do a migration.

Depending on the version (e.g. oVirt 3.3 vs RHEV 3.2) you have to
manually edit the ovf, as there are newer/other settings in oVirt then
in RHEV and RHEV want recognize the exported vm. So migration can be a
little tricky, but it's doable.
