I’ve always been told that migrating self-hosted-engine storage was a backup, shutdown, and rebuild from backup procedure.

In my iscsi environment it has never worked.  (More due to the history of my environment, than the procedure itself.)

Since we have too many hosts in a datacenter, we’ve choose to go another method, attrition.

I’m splitting of clusters into their own datacenters.  Once I’m down to the last host, running the original  SHE, I will simply power it down, reload it, and re-add it to one of my new datacenters.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Migrate Hosted-Engine from one NFS mount to another NFS mount

Hello,

I am currently running Ovirt 4.2.5.3-1.el7 with an Hosted-Engine running on nfs-based storage.

I am needing to migrate the backend NFS store for the Hosted-Engine to a new share.

Is there specific documentation for this procedure? I see multiple references to a general procedure involving backing-up the existing install and then re-installing and restoring the backup. Is there any way to make a more clean change of the configuration?

Thanks,

Brian Ismay
