I currently have an Ovirt 4.1.8 installation with a hosted engine using Gluster for storage, with the DBs hosted on a dedicated PG cluster.<br>
<br>
For reasons[1], it seems possibly simpler for me to upgrade our installation by reinstalling rather than upgrading. In this case, I can happily bring down the running VMs/otherwise do things that one normally can't.<br>
<br>
Is there any technical reason I can't/shouldn't rebuild from bare-metal, including creating a fresh hosted engine, without losing anything? I suppose a different way of asking this is, is there anything on the engine/host filesystems that I should preserve/restore for this to work?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The engine-backup utility is your friend and will properly back up for you everything you need.</div><div>Y.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Thanks,<br>

[1] If this isn't an option, I'll go in to them in order to figure out a plan B; just avoiding a lot of backstory that isn't needed for the question.<br>
