Hello Itmar, thanks for sharing the Glance service idea - but one question: All the info I found only mentions importing from glace [1]. Can you point out how to export VM images to a glance repository from oVirt? Until now I was not able to find this... Thanks! [1]

Well, what you can do, is: export this vm to an export domain, detach the domain from your DC, than tar.gz the whole export domain (use the sparse option if you got thin provisioned disks) then upload that tar.gz they have to put it on their storage, extract and import the export storage domain,

Hi Sven, Thanks but that's really not a workable solution for us. I'm surprised there's no cleaner export/import mechanism. This is the only virtualization system I'm familiar with doesn't have a simple and straightforward way to export a VM to an external system. On the subject of support, my

Hi Gianluca, When I said the support has not been stellar I may have understated the problem. The reason I haven't opened a case with Red Hat this time is simply because *all* my other cases are still unresolved, with all but the most recent having been open for months. I've had to find my own

Even if not stellar (as you said), if you have (as I understood) RHEV on both sides, you could open a case for this problem to red hat if not already done. Also, what kind of inter-connection is there between the two rhev environments? Which version of rhev on both environments? Not a great

[ovirt-users] Migrate from one system to another.

2014-07-02 Thread John Gardeniers
Hi All, I've been googling but haven't found an answer to what I thought would be a fairly simple question. The systems involved are RHEV but, given that Red Hat support has been less than stellar and doesn't have a user discussion list and that RHEV is just Ovirt anyway, I thought I'd ask here.

Hi Joop, Yes, that is an option but it also seems like an extra step that shouldn't be required. While in this instance that may not appear to be a big deal, in the future it's quite possible that we may decide to migrate our entire system from RHEV to Ovirt. Having to use additional steps for
