Hi,
I have 2 DC's, nfs based and localfs based.

On the nfs dc:
1) I created a nfs export domain, and exported the VM template (
precreated) to my nfs export domain

2) I detached the export domain from nfs dc

On the localfs dc:
1) I attached the export domain to the localfs dc

2) When i select export-domain on the Storage tab, under Details ->
template-import, i see the
template, but i don't see any option of import there. Basically cannot
import the template.

3) When i go to Template tab, the template is seen, but under Cluster
column, it still shows
the nfs-cluster to which it belongs, not to the localfs cluster. When i
try to edit the template,
it does not allow me to select the DC, its disabled/greyed and stays as
nfs-dc. So even if the template
is seen under localfs dc, i cannot use it to create a VM

4) When i try to create a new server / desktop VM, only when i select
nfsdc, i get the option of selecting my template, if i select localfs
dc, my template is not seen in the drop down box

So unable to use the template to create a new VM in the destination dc.

you can't import the template to same engine more today. you need this implemented first to support re-importing same tempalte and creating new identifiers for the entities.
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/ImportMoreThanOnce

workarounds until then (involve more IO):
the image-uploader has logic to do this as well, may worth looking at
you can also create a VM from the template, create a new template from it, then export, delete, import.

yes, ugly, hence the feature page above to fix it.
