Hi all,

I have 3 installations of Opennebula, but I would like to combine them into a 2 or 3 server cluster. Anyway of importing VMs from other Opennebula instances? I’ve read the documentation and if I’m correct, when connecting an Opennebula instance to a vCenter server that already has VMs by another Opennebula instance, it does not see them as wild VMs. If I’m correct it blocks them from been viewed.
