Error You cannot export a VM with a shared filesystem on RHEV 3.3

How to migrate clustered guests with a shared filesystem in RHEV
Urgent question regarding how to perform this action as it is currently a blocker for a new strategic RHEV POC project set to go live by middle of September.
Customer has multiple RHEV Clusters which are isolated from one another: DEV, QA, and PROD.
Customer has virtual guests clustered using RHEL-ClusterHA and shared filesystem (just so happens to be GFS2).
Customer needs to promote these virtual clustered guests between the RHEV Clusters DEV->QA->PROD. The only obvious way to do this is by exporting the guests, but an error is given that "Cannot export a VM with a shared filesystem".
Questions:
-
Is there a procedure (or new feature in RHEV 3.4) to allow this to happen easily?
-
Is this possible using V2V tooling?
Currently the only solution for this is very labor intensive and is not ideal for a robust, supportable process.
