Hi, I had installed ovirt-engine on a physical host, but want to move it to a hosted vm instead, I created a VM and installed ovirt-engine. Stopped the engine on the physical host and ran engine-setup on the VM, connecting it to the existing remote database. Started ovirt-engine and ovirt-engine-dwhd DNS adjusted to point at the new VM instead of physical machine. I can get the the web-ui but when I try to login I get: Invalid request, parameter 'client_secret' not found or contains invalid value. Can I generate a new client_secret or is there another trick ?

Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I did try that, but it stopped because the database was already populated.

I'll give it another go...

If you want to use same existing remote database, you can simply skip restore (and backup) of the database.
