RHEV export needed for import back as new guest to RHEV
Hi,
I have a RHEV 3.0.7 installation with a guest VM that I have exported to the export domain. I would now like to import that guest VM back to the same RHEV host, but under a different name and storage location.
Is there a way to do this? I want a completely separate storage location, not a snapshot on the old storage.
What I am really trying to do is CLONE a virtual machine in RHEV...
Thanks,
Paul

If the original virtual machine exists in the environment, then you will not be able to import the virtual machine to the same environment due to uuid conflict.
If you have removed the original virtual machine, then you will be able to import it to any sotrage domain available in the environment.
The easiest wasy to clone a virtual machine is to create a template from it and deploy a new vm from that template using "Clone" as the allocation method.
RHEV-3.1 will allow you to create a clone from a snapshot while the vm is running.
