sharing vms between multiple computers

[zhewy]

couple of vms that i'm wanting to share between multiple computers via a connected external drive. the process that i've got it working through seems bit convoluted at the moment - sure there's better ways that i don't know about; anyone able to provide any help/guidance?

at the moment - to my understanding, the method of notifying qubes about vms on a drive is via qubes.xml - so i'm manually copying the <domain>..</domain> sections once i've connected the drive. extra fun is then each computer has different vm-ids so i'm having to manually craft the id to suit/fit/allocate an unassigned id at each time i'm connecting..

anyone know of better ways to do all this?

THanks..

Only thing I can think of is to share the entire Qubes installation
between computers too. This can get tricky, though.
