Thank you Yedidyah,
Let me clearify it more that i have 2 ovirt nodes in a cluster. Ovirt engine is on
seperate machine on vmware workstation. Now i want to move this ovirt engine to one of my
nodes (which are in a cluster). I need help with the above so that i could complete my
task.
Thanks in advance!
Please see the link I sent before for migrating to hosted-engine.
Another option is to simply install the engine on one of the machines.
I didn't try this myself, but people reported that it works.
This will be simpler than hosted-engine, but will not provide the HA
that hosted-engine does.
If you want to do this, you should do something like:
on the existing engine machine:
1. engine-backup --mode=backup --file=b1 --log=l1
2. Stop and disable the engine and dwh on this machine
3. Copy b1 to the host you want to install it on
On the host you want the engine on:
4. Install ovirt-release package (same as you installed on the engine machine)
5. Install the package ovirt-engine
6. engine-backup --mode=restore --file=f1 --log=r1 --provision-db
--provision-dwh-db
7. engine-setup
8. Make sure the name of the old engine now resolves to the IP address
of the new host,
by updating your DNS (e.g. add a CNAME record) or /etc/hosts
For more details check engine backup/restore documentation.
Best regards,
Regards,

Not sure what exactly you mean:
1. You want to copy the engine to another machine and remove from the first?
Use engine-backup
2. It's a hosted-engine and you want to migrate the engine vm to another host?
You can use the gui and migrate it like any other vm
3. Something else?
