That's OK. I'm quite new myself and learning a lot!

Yeah, I did try this but I couldn't get it to show anything when I hit
load. I tried copying it into just about every folder in the export
domain hoping I was just putting it in the wrong spot. Never got this to
work. *shrug*

Yeah. That's what I was hoping for at first, but maybe I just don't know
how to do it right yet.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

When I was dealing with my previous issue, this method was not working.
I was going to respond that this was a no-go, but thought "Well, this is
now a completely fresh build...I should try it."

And it worked!!

So further evidence that my previous install was just completely borked.

While slightly traumatic, this has been quite the educational learning
experience. :-)

Thank you very much for the suggestion.

Re: [ovirt-users] Import VM's from a dead ovirt domain

I am quite new to oVirt and only use it at home for the moment.  So I wont
be of much help.

But I was able to add a new export domain, and then copy the original
contents of my old domain into this export domain, which seemed to work
fine.  I just had to hit the "load" button while in the import section of
the web gui (but I am assuming you have done this already).

I have struggled understanding why you cannot simply just point to an oVirt
VM file and import this way, or "import" an export domain that already
exists.

[ovirt-users] Import VM's from a dead ovirt domain

2017-11-04 Thread ~Stack~ 
Greetings,

Per my earlier adventures this week, my old domain is kaput. However,
all of the VM's were stored on a remote NFS server. I've been trying and
trying to import the VM's by copying them into the new data/export
domains, but it's not seeing them and I'm not getting much out of my
Internet searches.

Thoughts on how I can import the old VM's into the new domain?

Thanks!
