Hi friends of oVirt,
Roughly 3 years ago a user asked about the options he had to move the hosted engine to
some other storage.
The answer by Simone Tiraboschi was that it would largely not be possible, because of
references in the database to the node the engine was hosted. This information would
prevent a successful move of the engine even with backup/restore.
The situation seem to have improved, but I'm not sure. So I ask.
We have to move our engine away from our older Cluster with NFS Storage backends (engine,
volumes, iso-images).
The engine should be restored on our new cluster that has a gluster volume available for
the engine. Additionally this 3-node cluster is running Guests from a Cinder/Ceph storage
Domain.
I want to restore the engine on a different cluster to a different storage domain.
Reading the documentation at
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Resto...
I am wondering whether oVirt Nodes (formerly Node-NG) are capable of restoring an engine
at all. Do I need EL-based Nodes? We are currently running on oVirt Nodes.
