You can reuse existing datastores, as long as you rename them accordingly.

OpenNebula can manage any datastore that the ESX host is able to mount

OpenNebula will maintain a list of directories (corresponding to VM ids in
the system datastore, and with image hashes in the images datastore).
Anything that collides with this directories is at risk of being

It is the only viable way for the moment
