Thanks for your answer.
Yes, now you can do it via backup and restore: take a backup of the engine with engine-backup and restore it on a new hosted-engine VM on a new storage domain with: hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=mybackup.tar.gz
That is great news. Just to clear things up completely:
- This backup command is sufficient ? No further switches ? "engine-backup --mode=backup --file=[EngineBackupFile] --log=[LogFILE]"
Yes, right.
Just 'engine-backup' should be enough for taking a backup, in 4.3. See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1530031
- Do I need to place the node to which I want to deploy engine into maintenance before doing the backup? This is referred in the stated documentation as:
"If a hosted-engine host is carrying a virtual load at the time of backup [...] then a host [...] cannot be used to deploy a restored self-hosted engine."
This is still true? If yes: all other precautions apply from that documentation?
It's a good idea but it's not strictly required.
- before creating the new engine on the new storage, the old engine need to be un-deployed on all engine-HA hosts. I am unable to find information about this issue. Just un-deploy via web ui?
No need for that; but you will required to redeploy them from the new engine to update their configuration.
- I want to deploy on a gluster volume that has been automatically created by the Node setup. The file /etc/gluster/glusterd.vol does not carry "option rpc-auth-allow-insecure on" which is mentioned in the documentation. Do I need to follow the instructions for gluster, or are settings already sufficiently set by the automatic gluster deployment done by oVirt Node setup? I already have some VM images running on that gluster storage anyway.
Thanks for your help. - Andreas _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/TQNWNUHROMQLO2...
