</span>Okay, that makes sense. I see this from you:<br>

Should that work okay with a 3.5 database? I'm familiar with SQL, so if<br>
it needs some tweaks, I can handle that (just looking really to see if<br>
that's the right general idea).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's still in development state so no warranty at all but the main idea is there.</div><div>But if you are still on 3.5 I think that it will be easier since the auto-import procedure to import the hosted-engine engine storage domain and the engine VM to manage them from the engine itself has been introduced only with 3.6.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

If so, could I connect the new iSCSI storage to a host, shutdown the<br>
engine, "dd" the engine over, start up the new location in single-user<br>
mode, and make the DB change?<br>
<br>
Basically, just wondering if I could skip the full install and jump<br>
right to an installed system.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>With 3.5 you probably can do just that.</div><div>Then you have to edit /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf on all of your hosts to point to the new storage device.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
