Correct. I'm migrating between datacenter that have a different hosted engine. 
Also using same version (source is oVirt 4.5 on el8, destionation is oVirt 4.5 
on el9 and OLVM 4.5 on OL8). Why i need to add export domain ? The migration 
approach that i took is detaching storage domain from source cluster and then 
attaching it to the new cluster, not doing OVA Export from source and importing 
it in new cluster. I already read somewhere in the docs, it should be fine 
taking this approach as long the Storage Domain version and oVirt version are 
same.

Are you migrating data “storage domains” between data centers?

This can only be accomplished between data centers of the same version (4.3, 
4.4, 4.5) since the disk schema changes a bit between them.

To move VM’s between you will need to add a storage domain as an “export” 
domain.  Export storage domains are of a format that is accepted by all 
versions.

My data storage domains are either iSCSI or FC (depending upon how it is 
attached) but I use NFS for export storage domains.

Attach it to the volume as an export domain.
Got to Compute > Virtual machines > Elipses (three dots in upper right corner), 
and select “Export to Export Domain”
Once copied to the export domain, you can detach it, and move it on the 
destination.
Once the export domain is attached, you can import the “VMs” which will copy 
them to a data domain on the destination.

When detaching the export domain, I recommend deleting the contents, so you 
have a clean slate for the next more.

You will also need to remove the VMs from the source, since they are not 
automatically deleted. (safety measure)

Hi,



Recently we are migrating our existing VM from Existing oVirt cluster, to new 
oVirt cluster (using el9) and Oracle OLVM.

But we have this strange issue, after detaching storage domain, and then 
attaching the storage domain in new cluster, VM Impor tdoesnt shows up any vm 
that are located on this storage domain. In Disk Import, it shows a lot of disk 
with no aliases at all, and after we do trial and error with our disk, several 
disk are missing at all, no trace and no whereabout. After further 
investigation, OVF_STORE only contains 2 VM definition, not all the VM, and it 
guts truncated whenever we try to extract it using TAR. Update OVF doesnt help 
at all too. Anybody got any idea how to prevent or solve this ? We still have 3 
storage domain and afraid the same thing will happened again.



Thanks before.
