Awesome!

Is it worth while trying it now, or should I wait for 3.4 beta?

well, we'd love input as early as possible - maybe with the 3.4 alpha which should be out any day now.

                    Can engine-backup be used to move an AIO
                    configuration from one host to
                    another?


                I didn't try that. In principle it can. Note that it
                will only
                backup/restore
                the engine - not local storage domains (ISO or data), VM
                images, etc.

                If you try that, please report back. Thanks!


                    I currently need to move an AIO configuration from
                    AMD hardware to Intel
                    I7 hardware. The engine-backup WIKI discusses
                    backups, but not
                    restores. I am a bit concerned about using
                    engine-backup to restore an
                    AIO configuration to a different system as another
                    WIKI page with
                    step-by-step instructions to do what engine-backup
                    does for you,
                    mentions you have to do some extra steps if you are
                    changing hostnames
                    as the hostname of the ovirt-engine is embedded in
                    the database.


                Changing the hostname is specifically not in the scope
                of engine-backup.

                Note that you do not need to have the hostname equal to
                the "fqdn" input
                during engine-setup - this last one just needs to be
                dns-resolvable and
                point to the machine intended.

                Also, there is another utility to do that, called
                ovirt-engine-rename -
                see this for details and implications:

                http://www.ovirt.org/Changing___Engine_Hostname
                <http://www.ovirt.org/Changing_Engine_Hostname>


                    There really needs to be some work done in Ovirt on
                    making it easier to
                    import existing disk images and just generally
                    moving things around
                    without having to bounce off an NFS server.

                    Should I do a BZ on that?


                Not sure what you mean exactly, but you are always
                welcome to open BZs on
                bugs/RFEs...

                Best regards,

                Sorry for going slightly off topic, but how is
                everyone's hosted engine
                deployment going? Are you restricted to NFS?

            Andrew, in general I get positive feedbacks from RHEL users.
            For Fedora
            and other distros, this should be in a better situation in
            the following
            1-2 weeks when we'll have 3.4 beta available.
            I'd love to get your feedback on it.

        I missed your NFS question, sorry;
        Yes. Currently we have NFS limitation and we will do our best to see
        if SAN can be added. Note that time is not on our side for 3.4.


    worth mentioning you can use hosted engine on an iscsi/FC cluster -
    just the hosted engine VM needs to be on NFS



                I tried the migration procedure last month and it
                worked.. but had quite a
                lot of issues so I ended up reverting back. I didn't
                open any bugs in the
                assumption it was in super alpha stage.

            Next time please open bugs... That's the best way to improve
            the project,
            regardless of the version state. If unsure, you can always
            try irc / this
            list
            first to see if this is a known issue and if there are
            workarounds.
