Now I want t= o add the running host to a new engine. Without disturbing the virtual mach= ines on the host. If I add an host it tries to install the ovirt packages, but there already = running.

I'm also curious about what to do in this situation, perhaps someone from Red Hat has some insight? On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 12:48 AM, Jan Stomphorst <jstomphorst@promedico.nl> wrote:

Do you have engine's backups? 2015-05-06 15:55 GMT+02:00 Logan McNaughton <logan@bacoosta.com>:

- you can disable the automatic install when adding a host using a config value

problem is that once the host is up and the 1st master domain is up all your running VMs would be discovered and auto added as external VMs and you will not be able to manage them. I hope you can get a your db backups and have a new engine installation import the db. it its a new engine installation then the certificate on the hosts is invalid. new installation creates new certs. if you have a copy, great, if no, you'll have to add and install (deploy) you're hosts. if you can import you db dump then go to [1] to add a host without installing it assuming your running 3.5, if you don't have a backup you can at least import the storage domains and import the VMs from the storage domains. [1] to add a host without auto installing echo InstallVds > /tmp/props ; engine-config -s InstallVds=false -p /tmp/props restart engine for the configuration to take effect
