Dear all,
I'm rather new to the list, not to ovirt, that I use since 2014 profitably.
I've a problem with an ovirt instance and I am desperately seeking for help.

I run a 4.3 self hosted engine installation, with 8 hypervisors and an iscsi storage.
Since the storage is not  very reliable, I bought a dell powervault where to move everything. No problem to move the VMs, the problem came out with the hosted engine.
I've read many documentation and the procedure I think I must follow involves backing up the current HE, powering it off, installing a new host where to create a new HE recovering the backup.
The command I used to generate the backup is:
engine-backup --mode=backup --file=file_name --log=log_file_name

and the command used to restore it on the new HE is:
hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=backup/file_name

The problem comes out during the recovering of the backup.

With versions prior to 4.3.11 and also with 4.4.0 I got the error:
2020-06-25 15:17:34,950+0200 ERROR ansible failed {

Recently I tried the 4.3.11 beta and 4.4.1 and the error now is different:

[ INFO  ] Upgrading CA\n[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': (2, 'No such file or directory')\n[ INFO  ] DNF Performing DNF transaction rollback\n

I simply can't figure out what file is missing.
If, as a test, I try to install the HE without restoring the backup, the installation goes smoothly to the end, but at that point I can't restore the backup, as far as I can understand.

Any hint on what I may be missing?
Thanks,
Andrea
