[ovirt-users] Updare issues from oVirt 3.5.0.1-1 to 3.5.3

[Maor Lipchuk]

Hi Alain,

The OVF_STORE disk is only supported for 3.5 DC versions and later.
Since, in your last environment, you had 3.4 DC version, your VMs and Templates had no recover OVF_STORE disk in the Storage Domain.

Regards,
Maor

The import Storage Domain feature is only supported for 3.5 DC and later versions
