Hi,
I am testing the backup and restore procedure of the Self-hosted Engine, and I have a problem.
This haw I did the test.
I have two hypervisors hosted-engine. I am used iSCSI disk for the VM engine.
I followed the procedure described in the Self-hosted Engine document to execute the backup, I put the first host in maintenance mode, the I create the backup and save it elsewhere.
Then I've create a new iscsi disk, I reinstalled the first host with the save IP/hostname, then I followed the restore procedure to get the Manager up and running again.
- hosted-engine --deploy
- do not execute engine-setup, restore backup first
- execute engine-setup
- remove the host from the manager
- synchronize the restored manger with the host
- finalize deployment.
all went well till this point, but I have a problem with the VM-engine, it is shown as down in the admin portal. the ovirt-ha-agent cannot retrieve the VM config from the shared storage.
I think the problem, is that the hosted-engine storage domain is still pointing to the old disk of the old manager and not the new one. I don't know where is this information is stored, in the DB or in the Manager's config files, but when I click Manager hosted-engine domain, I can see the old LUN grayed and the new one (which is used by the restored Manager) is not grayed.
How can I fix this?
Regards.
