My question will be down below but before that here is some background info:

I currently have a functioning oVirt env (v4.5.7) with two self-hosted nodes 
(hand-me-down servers) and shared storage (TrueNAS server) with three data 
domains:  one for the EngineVM (iSCSI), one for the VMs (iSCSI) and one for ISO 
files (NFS).

The powers that be, want to move away from TrueNAS and hand-me-downs and have 
new servers and a new NAS appliance (most likely NetApp).  They are the ones 
who did not want to spend the money on new gear but now they have changed their 
minds.  I wish that I could have started my oVirt env on the new equipment.  
This new equipment will take at best 2 months to arrive.  In the meantime, I 
have to create various VMs in my existing environment.

Once my new gear arrives, what is the recommended approach:
1 - Start from scratch with a new datacenter/cluster env?  Can I migrate VMs 
from one DC to another?  The docs seem to say no.  I'm guessing, I would have 
to export first, then import.
2 - Can my new equipment be part of the same DC but a different cluster?

I was thinking that option #2 is the right approach.  I could start with 
storage (ie: new NetApp) as part of the new cluster.  Once that is part of the 
cluster, I can add hosts then finally migrate VMs.

What say you?

thank you in advance.
