Dear oVirt,

For a while now I have been running backup of oVirt engine via ansible. And that works just fine.

However, its still recommended, in SHE HA environment, especially for Restore purpose to have one of HA nodes in Maintenance mode, clean from Virtual load.

Has anyone so far been able to automate oVirt engine backup in following or similar way:

1. Register on which HA node is SHE atm
2. Pick the other HA node to go into maintenance mode – in order to have one of HA nodes without virtual load
3. Verify it’s in maintenance mode
4. Execute engine-backup
5. Remove the maintenance mode of the node from step 2

Even if you are half way through, I would be happy to get involved and contribute.

Kindly awaiting your reply.
