Centos – KVM import/export process for movement between boxes

centoskvm-virtualizationredhat

How can I export a KVM VM from one machine, and import it to another machine also running KVM?

The host to export from is running CentOS, and the import host is running Red Hat.

I've tried to find documentation on the matter but no luck. My KVM knowledge is minimal, the machine was installed using the GUI virt-manager.

VIRT-V2V can automate the process, but you can simply copy the disk image to the same directory, and copy the VM definition xml file as well.
