Theoretically you could run engine-backup on the current engine VM, redeploy from scratch on the new storage domain and before running engine setup, inject there the backup. Something like: http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/migrate-to-hosted-engine/ Unfortunately we know that migrating from HE to HE is not as simple as from physical to HE: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240466#c21 In general the issue is that the DB backup form the old hosted-engine VM contains a lot of references to the previous hosted-engine env and you cannot simply remove/edit them from the engine since they are lock so you have to manually remove them from the DB which is quite risky/error prone. Improving engine-backup to automatically filter hosted-engine references is an RFE for 4.1. In the mean time I'd suggest, if feasible, to redeploy a new hosted-engine env and reattach there your storage domains and your hosts. This will imply a downtime. > Nir _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
