Re: [ovirt-users] VM Import problems
Hi Donny, Is it possible that the VMs that you fail yo import due to " Error while executing action: Cannot import VM. Storage Domain doesn't exist " have disks located on other storage domains which weren't imported to the setup?

So should I detach the domain, update the tarball then reattach it. The problem lies with machines that have already been imported once before.

[ovirt-users] VM Import problems
I need some help getting my users vm's imported back into the system after the failure yesterday. I reattached the storage and half of the vm's imported without issue. The other half of the vms give this error Error while executing action: Cannot import VM. Storage Domain doesn't exist Funny part is, I only had one storage domain. and I imported it back into the engine. I'm confused.
