ok, so the process seems pretty obtuse, so let me run this by the list
here and maybe I'm just not doing it the best way.
1) i connected an export domain called EXPORTNFS. the nfs share is
physically on my management server (as is iso)
2) exported 1 VM.
3) on the mgmt server, i run "tar zxcf /root/test.tgz
/opt/export/[UUID]/images /opt/export/[UUID]/master"
4) for good measure, i use ovirt web gui to delete the exported VM from
the export
5) run the command 'engine-image-uploader –u admin@internal upload
test.tgz –v –e EXPORTNFS
6) after a while, it completes and i see the VM back in the export
storage tab under VM Import.
i didn't run the vm yet, but I'm assuming thats a successful export and
import.
so, it seems if i wanted to export each and every VM from one separate
ovirt to another, i would export each VM, tar-gzip it, clear it from the
webgui, and start the next one? IE.. i mean it looks like
engine-image-uploader would be pretty unhappy with finding more than one
set of VM UUIDs inside?
apart of Vered's simpler solution, a small note that:
1. engine-image-uploader can handle uploading the same image more than
once and generating uuid's
2. however, i think this capability is deprecated, since engine has
recently added support to import a VM which UUID is already imported,
allowing to create a new VM from the imported one.
