Hi Soeren,
1. Please attach the vdsm logs so i can inspect if there's an abnormal cause to the slowness and if improvement can be done.
2. In the meanwhile, I'd suggest you to increase the config value vdsTimeout to a value larger then 180 which is the current max time for a vds operation rather than delete it directly from the storage as it's error prone.
3. You can create a new export domain and then copy the ovf and disks to it, please check that you copied all you needed and that the import works before deleting the source.


Thanks,
Liron.
