Hello, I would like to try ovirt with hosted engine installation. I had so many problems (I have written them in another thread) so I will not try anymore hosted installation (up and running with ovirt 3.5 tutorial)
oVirt 3.5.1 RC1 will be published today so, if everything runs as expected, oVirt 3.5.1 will be out in a few days. oVirt 3.5.1 should solve the issue you reported.
But now I would try this approach: I install the engine on a dedicated server or as a virtual machine in another kvm based virtualizator.
Now I create an ovirt cluster and use it.
Can I after that install change my mind and so move the engine as a vm in the cluster?
As far as you maintain the same host name and a compatible network topology it should work without any hassle. Keep present that hosted-engine also installs and configures ovirt-hosted-engine-ha daemon to ensure HA capabilities restarting the engine VM if the host witch runs the VM goes down. In the setup you are proposing you are loosing that capability.
Or can I install a new engine in the cluster and powerdown the first engine?
Thanks in advance for help, Mario
