Can I move qemu vms between systems?

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am setting up a 'new' F22 system.  On this F21 system, I have a F21 
QEMU vm.

Can I 'simply' move the image file in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ to the 
new system and run it?

Obviously the VM will still be F21, but that is no problem.

The two systems have identical hardware (Lenovo x120e).

I moved the image to the new system and started qemu.  The image was not 
listed in available vms to run.

So I went to add an image, and one of the options was to use an existing 
image.  I followed the dialog and got the image added and it started up 
just fine.

One more item done on this port.

Why shouldn't you?
I would also add: theory comes after experience and experience does to the
master. When in doubt just go and try :)
