If you don't have any backup of the hosted-engine VM, the best think you could do is deploy hosted-engine from scratch and when you have the new engine manually re-import the previous hosts and the previous datacenter. I think that you should be able to do it even with running VMs but if you want to be on the safest side I suggest to manually shutdown all the VMs before the migration. > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ > oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/4H6HMSRKOYV... _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/KRQ5NYP7QC5...
