To someone who has never dealt with the backup/restore stuff.. not to mention taking over a previously setup cluster.. it is exceedingly onerous :( Those docs seem geared primarily towards doing backup and restore of a hosted_engine where nothing is changing. it would be really helpful to have docs where the goal is changing the environment for the hosted engine. At one point I stumbled across a reference to that sort of thing, but unfortunately I cannot find it again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan G" <alan+ovirt@griff.me.uk> To: "Philip Brown" <pbrown@medata.com> Cc: "users" <users@ovirt.org> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2020 8:26:42 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] change lun for hosted_engine use? The "long-winded" way is the only way I know of doing it. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... Providing you plan in advance I don't think it's really that onerous. And it means you have a stable system going forward... ---- On Mon, 27 Jul 2020 16:07:13 +0100 Philip Brown <pbrown@medata.com> wrote ---- I currently have a self-hosted engine, running in a dedicated ISCSI storage domain. I'd like to change the backend hardware for the storage. i think there's some longwinded and complicated method of shutting down the engine, backup, creating a NEW one, restore, and whoknowswhat. I was wondering though, if maybe there's a way to just add an iscsi lun to the storage domain, and tell ovirt, "Hey, move the stuff over to that other lun" ? Ive added the new lun already :) havent found a reference to move the files' residence though. If it helps, my end goal is to remove that lun completely. -- Philip Brown| Sr. Linux System Administrator | Medata, Inc. 5 Peters Canyon Rd Suite 250 Irvine CA 92606 Office 714.918.1310| Fax 714.918.1325 mailto:pbrown@medata.com| www.medata.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- mailto:users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/522VCAWNK7SSLE...
