Even if it doesn't work - a fresh engine can still recover the VMs by importing the storage domain (no VM snapshots are allowed), yet other settings might be lost (VM networks, users,etc)

Also, I forgot to mention that with GlusterFS, you can create a snapshot as a point in time recovery (shut down the engine first as it has a DB) on the Engine's volume.

Happy Holidays!

Well, you can shut down the engine (don't forget the global maintenance), yum update, reboot -> the host is updated

Then wait for ovirt-ha-agent & ovirt-ha-broker to bring the engine up.
Global maintenance, wipe the storage (assuming NFS/GlusterFS is used) or at least rename the subdirectory to something different.
Restore from backup and it should be back as new.
