[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt SHE smart-automated backup
Hi Strahil,
That's true. I do trust migration mechanism, its proven to work smoothly many-many
times, but I do not like moving SHE VM unless I have too.
Proper backup is important and I try to follow oVirt recommendation, but if I can avoid
needless "shaking" of the platform, I would rather take that route.

Actually,
you don't need to find where the SHE is.
Once you setup the host in maintenance, all VMs including the SHE will be evacuated
out of there.

Dear oVirt,
For a while now I have been running backup of oVirt engine via ansible.
And that works just fine.
However, its still recommended, in SHE HA environment, especially for
Restore purpose to have one of HA nodes in Maintenance mode, clean from
Virtual load.
Has anyone so far been able to automate oVirt engine backup in
following or similar way:
1. Register on which HA node is SHE atm
2. Pick the other HA node to go into maintenance mode – in order to
have one of HA nodes without virtual load
3. Verify it’s in maintenance mode
4. Execute engine-backup
5. Remove the maintenance mode of the node from step 2
Even if you are half way through, I would be happy to get involved and
contribute.
Kindly awaiting your reply.
