I’ve migrated my iSCSI storage to a new array, and the only thing remaining is to migrate
the hosted-engine.
Any directions on how I should proceed. I understand that I will need to back-up the
existing, create a new hosted-engine on the new storage, specifying the backup a
reference.
I just would like to see a step-by-step, so I know I am doing everything, and in the
right order.
Generally speaking, you should follow the hosted-engine backup and
restore flows/documents.
I strongly suggest to test this first on a test machine before production.
You can take a backup without downtime.
Restore on some machine (can be a VM, with nested-kvm) that has no
access to your production storage and hosts (to make sure the restored
engine won't start managing them/competing with the production one).
See that all looks good. Then plan production...
Good luck and best regards,
