[ovirt-users] Help/guidelines/ideas on how to create new hosted-engine on final server with old config

I'm looking for guidelines/ideas for moving/migrating/Hosted-engine from the initial install with local storage, to the "Final" server. Initial it was a "Test" to see if this will work or not, but this has now become the production, where the initial host named "ovirt" that is hosting the hosted-engine on local storage is "just" doing that. My hosted-engine is called "ovirtmgr" and I created a new host to run Virtual machines called "Hermod" - getting better in the naming thing, right? This test was so successful that I converted the old Xen/Oracle based host to CentOS 7 - the same as host Ovirt and Hermod: Linux hermod 3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 13 22:55:44 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux <https://www.facebook.com/linux.lanka?fref=gs&__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid... Linux fernis 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 7 18:08:02 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux oVirt version is: 4.3.5.4-1.el7 I want to move the hosted-engine to Fenris and at the same time use a NFS share for that. I can shut the whole setup down, as long as it runs again in daytime. I do know that I should have started with the hosted-engine in the correct place, but that's not the case anymore. There are eleven VM’s in total Can anyone suggest a plan on how to move/create a new hosted-engine on my server Fenris? The history of the old server is not important, I just want the hosted-engine on fenris using NFS share I did find some sugesting on the web, but they all look quite complicated: https://www.ovirt.org/…/engine/migrate-to-hosted-engine.html <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt.org%2Fdevelop%2Fde... I just love the product! I'm now running VM's 2-3 times faster by converting from Xen to KVM, but still use the same storage and server! :-D Appreciate any help! 😀 /Lars Lars Bækmark lars(a)baekmark.dk <mailto:lars@baekmark.dk> +45 2241 0500 Mølleengen 6 3550 Slangerup Danmark ------------------------------------- Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
