Re: [ovirt-users] reinstall hosted-engine with ovirt 3.5?

IIUC what you wrote, then there is backup available inside
your engine VM as the backup is usual part of upgrade.

Get the backup files from "old" engine VM, do fresh install
with ovirt engine appliance and restore DB.

is there a mechanism to import the appliance image into the hosted engine?
I am not sure how I would do this since I have no live access to my engine
DB.

That is what I figured.  I was only going to set up a single "node" now,
so if I decide to add additional nodes in the future, I don't have to
make any changes to my current storage (as far as preparing it for
Gluster); I just need to add the additional node(s).
