Hi,
Afaik you can't move vm's between 2 datacenters, because it's storage is
completely separated from each other.
So what I would do is just create a new cluster with the new servers,
but in the same datacenter so it shares it's storage domains with the
current cluster.
Then attach the netapp to the datacenter when received, and then you can
migrate the storage to the netapp first and then shutdown the vm, move
it from cluster, and boot it.
Or you shutdown the vm first, move it to the new cluster, and do the
storage migration to netapp there.

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.
