</span>I'm digging through this now, as I need to move my oVirt 3.5 setup from<br>
one storage array to another (both iSCSI), including the hosted engine.<br>
<br>
Reading this:<br>
<br>

<br>
it sounds like that's not currently possible (at least with 3.5). Is<br>
that correct? I was planning to follow this process:<br>

<br>
which says "point to the new shared storage" - will that not work?<br>
