[ovirt-users] VM Import problems

[Elad Ben Aharon]

Hi Donny, 
Is it possible that the VMs that you fail yo import due to " Error while executing action: Cannot import VM. Storage Domain doesn't exist " have disks located on other storage domains which weren't imported to the setup?

That should do it, or even just putting the storage into maintenance 
rather than detaching it, then retry importing the vms you still need.
