[ovirt-users] Q: Copying VMs between Export domains of different data centres

[Andrei Verovski]

Hi,

I have 2 data centers (with 1 node each because 1 have local data domain)

Copied exported from DC #1, exports -> 1d7208ce-d3a1-4406-9638-fe7051562994 -> images -> 12f48f07-7e93-4c66-b0e9-00efc1fec418, with 2 files inside
fc469474-94fd-416b-b921-58604f46411c - 171 GB (seems like disk image)
fc469474-94fd-416b-b921-58604f46411c.meta

to DC #2, export -> 36bc8d5d-30e9-4df5-94cd-c837483c5e41 -> images -> 12f48f07-7e93-4c66-b0e9-00efc1fec418, with these above listed files inside.
(screenshot attached)

However, in “Import Virtual machine(s)” dialog this VM is not visible even after running “Load” command inside import dialog.
Looks like for whatever reason oVirt don’t refresh content of this directory.

How to instruct oVirt to refresh and index these files?

Or this method won’t work at all, and one have to import/export OVA images, or use lengthy procedure described by Fred Roland here ?
