For whatever reason you ever need to migrate an OVM Manager to a different host this would be helpful. I can't imagine that this would need to happen that often but I recently did need to cut it over from a Virtualbox instance to an OVM Hypervisor. This is the OVM 3.2.1 local mysql(not Oracle XE) DB version.<\/p>\n
