I'm digging through this now, as I need to move my oVirt 3.5 setup from
one storage array to another (both iSCSI), including the hosted engine.
Reading this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240466#c21
it sounds like that's not currently possible (at least with 3.5). Is
that correct? I was planning to follow this process:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/hosted-engine-backup-and-
restore/
which says "point to the new shared storage" - will that not work?
The issue is that the engine DB backup you are going to restore already
contains a reference to the previous hosted-engine storage domain and to
the previous hosted-engine VM and so on and so the auto-import procedure to
have the engine VM looking up for its own infrastructure will not trigger.
You have to manually remove them form the DB you restored.
