In other words, I want to migrate the Engine from a hyperconverged environment into a stand-alone setup.

Hello,
I have just purchased a Synology SA3400 which I plan to use for my oVirt storage domain(s) going forward. I'm currently using Gluster storage in a hyperconverged environment.

My goal now is to:
  • Use the Synology Virtual Machine manager to host the oVirt Engine on the Synology
  • Setup NFS storage on the Synology as the storage domain for all VMs in our environment
  • Migrate all VM storage onto the new NFS domain
  • Get rid of Gluster

My first step is to migrate the oVirt Engine off of Gluster storage / off the Hyperconverged hosts into the Synology Virtual Machine manager. 

Is it possible to migrate the existing oVirt Engine (put the cluster into Global Maintenance Mode, shutdown oVirt, export to VDI or something, and then import into Synology's virtualization)? Or would it be better for me to install a completely new Engine, and then somehow migrate all of the VMs from the old engine into the new engine?

Thanks,
David
