[one-users] How to move an existing image from one datastore to another one?

[Valerio Schiavoni]

Hello Ruben,
The image is not used by any VM, that's the case.
I guess I can do it manually somehow..but the question is how.

I did found this issue http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/1696 I hope it
doesn't get rescheduled (as it was already pushed from 4.0 to 4.8).

best,
valerio
