Hi.
As we are using Fedora16 as the OS on the frontend I would like to know
what files/DB's, etc are needed to migrate the management
server/frontend to another machine?
I ask as the support life of Fedora is not too long, so for example when
FC17 is released I would like to migrate the machine to that - by
migrate I mean backup and re-install.
Is there any info anywhere showing what files I would need to
migrate/backup to a new frontend server? - I assume its going to be a DB
and several files - I would just like to know for sure.
actually, you mean "engine" which includes backend/frontend as current
naming goes (I first though you wanted only the webadmin/userportal
("frontend") on a separate machine.
as for content:
db, conf and certificate files comes to mind.
a backup/restore script could be nice if you write one and contribute it.
Ovirt looks really nice btw - thank you to all who made this possible.
As a 2nd question - is there an ETA from when RHEL packages are going to
be ready?
while nayone can try and push this earlier than that, I assume adding
target distributions would be discussed as part of the second version
slated for may.
