[ovirt-users] Re: Migrating from a self hosted engine to standalone

Hi Strahil , Thanks. Just an update on my original post, I made a mistake, I am upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5, and not 4.3 to 4.4. Since I posted my original message, I have done a couple of more test. Using Ansible I am able to kickstart a RHEL8.8 server and have a standalone engine up and running in about 15 mins. My Current plan now is to, perform a backup just in case. However I will turn off all non-essential VMs, so I can shutdown half the hypervisors. While the essential VMs are still running, I will kickstart the removed hypervisors and add them to the new standalone engine. I will then schedule an outage, shutdown the remaining VMs, detach the data storage from the old environment, and import the storage domain to the new engine. I can then import the VMs from the storage to the new environment. Hopefully this will work.
