Moving VM's from one Opennebula instance to another

Hello, Yes I did it with SSH datastore and qcow disks when I was importing VM’s from clear KVM host to the Opennebula.
There are 2 ways

  • I created an empty VM in Opennebula and shut it, then I copied manually VM disks to the host and renamed it as disk1, disk2 respectively.
  • I created a new VM in Opennebula with working OS, added disks and made migration with (dd, dump) inside the auxiliary OS. After it I changed the boot order in VM’s configuration.

PS.
Also I’ve tried to move a entire host with VMs
My old experiment
In a nutshell: OpenNebula is not prepared for that scenario
