[ovirt-users] Migrate from one system to another.

[Daniel Helgenberger]

Hello Itmar,

thanks for sharing the Glance service idea - but one question:

All the info I found only mentions importing from glace [1]. Can you
point out how to export VM images to a glance repository from oVirt?
Until now I was not able to find this...

Thanks!
