Sahina, a quick check on the oVirt website didn't help me finding the
documentation for Leo.
Can you please assist?
To move from a single host to multiple host, you can add additional hosts
to your cluster via Ovirt. Distribute volume can be changed to a replica 3
volume - but ensure there's no ongoing I/O. The easier process is to add
new replica 3 volumes and move your VM disks to it - for the VMs that
require HA.

Couldn't find documentation on
ovirt.org site, but this should apply to
your case:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_
hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure/1.1/html/maintaining_red_hat_
hyperconverged_infrastructure/scaling#scaling_rhhi_by_
adding_additional_volumes_on_new_nodes
Sahina, can you help preparing some documentation for
ovirt.org as well?
Sure, contributions are welcome though - Leo, if you feel like pitching in

I'm not aware of limits but according to above document I won't go over
the 9 nodes in this configuration.
