Hello,
This is how I did it just recently. I have an centos 7 with a standalone
ovirt engine and a couple off nodes with vm's running on them.
I used this document as a guide.
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html
Make sure your environment is update to the latest 4.3
"engine-upgrade-check", "dnf update ovirt\*setup\" and then run
"engine-setup" and also " yum update --nobest"
On the 4.3 engine you need to stop the engine "systemctl stop ovirt-engine"
and even disable it "systemctl disable ovirt-engine"
Take the backup "engine-backup --scope-all --mode=backup --file=backup.bck
--log=backup.log"
Install a new minimal centos 8 stream, update it to the latest and greatest
and then add the repository "dnf -y install
https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release4.4.rpm".
Then run "dnf module -y enable javapackages-tools pki-deps postgresql:12
mod_auth_openidc:2.3 nodejs:14" and "dnf distro-sync --nobest"
If you are using SSO on the oldenvironment you need to run this "dnf
install ovirt-extenstion-aaa-ldap ovirt-engine-extention-aaa-misc"
Install the packages "dnf install -y ovirt-engine"
Then copy over the backup and restore them "engine-backup --mode=restore
--file=backup.bck --provision-all-database"
Now run the command "engine-setup"
And that's it. make sure the ovirt-eninge on the new server is running
"systemctl status ovirt-engine" and start it if it isn't "sysemctl
enable
--now ovirt-engine"
Now you should see everything again but still need to upgrate the nodes.
Kind regards.

Anyone ? We really need to upgrade this old 4.3 installation.
There are a lot of VMs and huge VM disks there, so we cannot just migrate
them to a new fresh 4.4/4.5 environment using export/import or any other
ways. All we can do is to upgrade existing 4.3 install step by step.
Please help. Can provide all necessary additional logs if required.
