Chapter 7: Backing up and Restoring an EL-Based Self-Hosted Environment. The nature of the self-hosted engine, and the relationship between the hosts and the hosted-engine virtual machine, means that backing up and restoring a self-hosted engine environment requires additional considerations to that of a standard oVirt environment. ovirt.org It is easier if you are restoring to a new self-hosted engine server or standard server/VM.

The hosted engine also manages additional 4 nodes in 4 datacenters. Two tasks: - Re installation of our infrastructure without interfering or interrupting the external nodes. - Separate the external hosts from our infrastructure by either leaving them in the old hosted engine or setting up a new hosted engine on VMware or the new Ovirt Infrastructure We've already drained 2 of our 4 nodes, re-installed them with ovirt node and a new self-hosted engine and moved our VMs onto it. On the two remaining nodes only runs the old self-hosted engine which still manages the 4 external hosts - which prevents me from reinstalling that remaining hosts. I'd prefer to move the old HE to the new oVirt Installation or to our VMware infrastructure. Is that possible and what pitfalls do I have to care of? Many thanks for any hint on this!
