[ovirt-users] Move hosted engine to another storage

[Cristian Mammoli]

I started from scratch, deployed the appliance without configuring the 
engine, imported the backup, and run engine-setup.

In the engine admin portal I deleted the old hosted_storage the shutdown 
to make the vm managed by ha

Now the engine cannot import itself :p

The Hosted Engine Storage Domain isn't Active.

Jul 8, 2016 12:27:29 PM

VDSM command failed: Cannot acquire host id: 
('d5e1243d-a085-406c-813d-e9db7677f329', SanlockException(22, 'Sanlock 
lockspace add failure', 'Invalid argument'))


How do I clean up the db from the old data?


Thanks!
