Did you have problems with engine-backup? Or had other reasons to not<br>
use it? Thanks!<br>

Can engine-backup be used to move an AIO configuration from one host to<br>
another?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I didn't try that. In principle it can. Note that it will only<br>
backup/restore<br>
the engine - not local storage domains (ISO or data), VM images, etc.<br>
<br>
If you try that, please report back. Thanks!<br>

I currently need to move an AIO configuration from AMD hardware to Intel<br>
I7 hardware. The engine-backup WIKI discusses backups, but not<br>
restores. I am a bit concerned about using engine-backup to restore an<br>
AIO configuration to a different system as another WIKI page with<br>
step-by-step instructions to do what engine-backup does for you,<br>
mentions you have to do some extra steps if you are changing hostnames<br>
as the hostname of the ovirt-engine is embedded in the database.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Changing the hostname is specifically not in the scope of engine-backup.<br>
<br>
Note that you do not need to have the hostname equal to the "fqdn" input<br>
during engine-setup - this last one just needs to be dns-resolvable and<br>
point to the machine intended.<br>
<br>
Also, there is another utility to do that, called ovirt-engine-rename -<br>
see this for details and implications:<br>

There really needs to be some work done in Ovirt on making it easier to<br>
import existing disk images and just generally moving things around<br>
without having to bounce off an NFS server.<br>
<br>
Should I do a BZ on that?<br>

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

Sorry for going slightly off topic, but how is everyone's hosted engine<br>
deployment going? Are you restricted to NFS?<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
Andrew, in general I get positive feedbacks from RHEL users. For Fedora<br>
and other distros, this should be in a better situation in the following<br>
1-2 weeks when we'll have 3.4 beta available.<br>
I'd love to get your feedback on it.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
I missed your NFS question, sorry;<br>
Yes. Currently we have NFS limitation and we will do our best to see<br>
if SAN can be added. Note that time is not on our side for 3.4.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div></div>
worth mentioning you can use hosted engine on an iscsi/FC cluster - just the hosted engine VM needs to be on NFS<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

I tried the migration procedure last month and it worked.. but had quite a<br>

assumption it was in super alpha stage.<br>

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