Hello,
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.
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.
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?
The engine-backup utility is your friend and will properly back up for you
everything you need.

Thanks,

[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.
