Your current setup is optimal.
For example - if node running self-hosted engine dies for whatever reason, what happens next?

As an option you can buy a couple of fanless Celeron mini PCs (1 active + 2nd backup with 8GB RAM and 128 - 256 GB SSD) and run host engine here under KVM, so image can be easily cloned/restored/moved if necessary.

Just to add up, for the second question I am following this URL:

https://ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_Metal_to_an_EL-Based_Self-Hosted_Environment/

So the question is more of anything else that may be good to take in attention other than what is already there.

Thanks

Hello folks

I currently have a oVirt Engine which runs in a Dedicated Virtual Machine in another ans separate environment. It is very nice to have it like that because every time I do a oVirt Version Upgrade I take a snapshot before and if it failed (and it did failed in the past several times) I just go back in time before the snapshot and all comes back to normal.

Two quick questions:

- Going to a Self-Hosted Engine will snapshots or recoverable ways be possible ?

- To migrate the Engine from the current environment to the self-hosted engine is it just a question to backup the Database, restore it into the self-hosted engine keeping it with the same IP address ? Are there any special points to take in consideration when doing this migration ?

Thanks

Fernando
