Hello,

 

I am not sure if the below thread went missing somewhere. Just to add on as well, when moving the hosted engine to a standalone host, will the process look similar to the below:

 

Backup and remove Hosted Engine:

 

1. Backup Hosted Engine (engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup --file=Full --log=Log_Full)

2. Download the backup files from HE using WinSCP

3. Enable global Maintenance (hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global)

4. Power down hosted engine (hosted-engine --vm-shutdown)

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Redeploy Hosted Engine:

 

Build new CentOS VM in another environment

*Same IP

*Same name

*Same resources

 

1. sudo yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release43.rpm

2. sudo yum install -y ovirt-engine

3. Copy backup files to newly deployed CentOS VM

4. engine-backup --mode=restore --file=Full --log=Log_Full --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions

5. after retore has completed, run engine-setup

 

Or are there any additional steps I need to take? I have tried this in my  one lab environment, and it works without any issues, however when trying this on my second lab environment, everything shows as “down”, ie. Hosts, Data Center and Storage Domains.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Migrate hosted engine to standalone host

 

 

Hi All,

 

So I have been playing around a bit, and I would just like some recommendations.

 

I moved my HE from an oVirt node to my VMware environment, basically running as a standalone host now. Is there anything I should look out for?

 

I can see there is a problem when configuring the HE after the move, where it says that global maintenance is not enabled. How will this work if the hosted engine is not sitting on a oVirt node anymore?

 

Any feedback\suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
