[Users] How to migrate the Ovirt management server/frontend to another machine ? (what files are needed, etc)
Hi. As we are using Fedora16 as the OS on the frontend I would like to know what files/DB's, etc are needed to migrate the management server/frontend to another machine? I ask as the support life of Fedora is not too long, so for example when FC17 is released I would like to migrate the machine to that - by migrate I mean backup and re-install. Is there any info anywhere showing what files I would need to migrate/backup to a new frontend server? - I assume its going to be a DB and several files - I would just like to know for sure. Ovirt looks really nice btw - thank you to all who made this possible. As a 2nd question - is there an ETA from when RHEL packages are going to be ready? Many regards

actually, you mean "engine" which includes backend/frontend as current naming goes (I first though you wanted only the webadmin/userportal ("frontend") on a separate machine. as for content: db, conf and certificate files comes to mind. a backup/restore script could be nice if you write one and contribute it.

while nayone can try and push this earlier than that, I assume adding target distributions would be discussed as part of the second version slated for may. http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Second_Release

WRT certificates, note that hostname should nt change, or SSL will be invalidated.
