May have miscommunicated that...
I can not do this because this kind of means that the vms will be down
during the whole movement process. I'd like to reduce the per-vm
downtime as much as possible.

With best Regards,

you can decrease the downtime by:

- live snapshot VM1;
- clone VM1 from snapshot to VM1-NEW (during this process VM1 is 
up&running);
- export VM1-NEW to export domain (VM1 up&running);
- detach export domain from old DC;
- attach export domain to new DC;
- import VM1-NEW (VM1 still up&running);
- start VM1-NEW on single mode and configure;
- stop apps from VM1 (downtime);
- optionally sync app data from VM1 to VM1-NEW (downtime);
- start apps on VM1-NEW (apps up&running on new DC).
- stop VM1 on old DC.
