[ovirt-users] Re: master domain wont activate

(Master) is only the flag which OVF-STORE files are active used to store runtime and configuration storage options. What's the storage type of your Hosted Engine Domain ? To remove a domain, you have to put it first into maintenance, then the (Master) status automatically switch to another domain. If you really want to determine with destination for master domain you got, two domains are correct, but it's not importend where the master lives, expect the "to be removed" domain. Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DataCenter -> Centername -> Right Click -> Maintenance Now you have two Options: Detach or Destroy Detach: OVF-FILES and Disks are not really physical removed and can't imported later to another DC. Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DataCenter -> Centername -> Right Click -> Detach Detroy: Storage would be blanked, OVF-Store Disks, thats what you want here. !!!! Warning migrate your all your disks first! !!!! Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DotDotDot menu -> Detroy On 10/5/18 10:30 AM, Vincent Royer wrote: thanks, I'm trying to move away from NFS due to the poor vw performance and problems I had with it. Hence wanting to move the master domain and HE domains over to iscsi domains. I have now an export domain, an ISO domain, and HostedEngine domain. From my reading, to switch master, you need to have only 2 data domains, then put the old one into maint and it will switch to the new one. Only then can you remove the old one... is that not correct?
