Hello

As I mentioned in another thread I am migrating a 'Bare-metal' oVirt-Engine to a Self-Hosted Engine.

For that I am following this documentation: https://ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_Metal_to_an_EL-Based_Self-Hosted_Environment/

However I think called me attention and I wanted to clarity: Must the Host that will deploy the Self-Hosted Engine be in Maintenance mode and therefore with no other VMs running ?

I have a Node which is currently part of a Cluster and wish to deploy the Self-Hosted Engine to it. Must I have to put it into Maintenance mode first or can I just run the 'hosted-engine --deploy'.

Note: this Self-Hosted Engine will manage the existing cluster where this Node exists. Guess that is not an issue at all and part of what Self-Hosted Engine is intended to.

Thanks

Fernando
