[ovirt-users] Can't move/copy VM disks between Data Centers

[Fred Rolland]

Hi,
Which version are you using?

in 4.1 , the support of adding shared storage to local DC was added [1].
You can copy/move disks to the shared storage domain, then detach the SD
and attach to another DC.

In any case, you wont be able to live migrate VMs from the local DC, it is
not supported.

Regards,
Fred
