Hi Jeremy, I think you must have run the engine-setup before the restore, the restore is designed to restore to a clean install or the previous install with the same credentials. If you delete the postgresql config you can then install with your postgres credentials. e.g. systemctl stop rh-postgresql10-postgresql.service rm -rf /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql10/lib/pgsql/data/* regards, Paul S. ________________________________ From: Jeremy Tourville <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com&gt; Sent: 18 February 2020 02:26 To: Robert Webb <rwebb(a)ropeguru.com>; users(a)ovirt.org <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone Caution External Mail: Do not click any links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know that the content is safe. I did get a little further. First I ran engine-cleanup on my new engine where I will be running the restore operation. (I had previously run the engine-setup script on this machine) Then I ran this- [root@engine ~]# engine-backup --mode=restore --file=ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup --log=ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions Start of engine-backup with mode 'restore' scope: all archive file: ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup log file: ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log Preparing to restore: - Unpacking file 'ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup' Restoring: - Files Provisioning PostgreSQL users/databases: - user 'engine', database 'engine' FATAL: Existing database 'engine' or user 'engine' found and temporary ones created - Please clean up everything and try again Time to research further for that FATAL error message. Isn't that the purpose of engine-cleanup though? Why the conflict? ________________________________ From: Robert Webb <rwebb(a)ropeguru.com&gt; Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 1:42 PM To: Jeremy Tourville <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com>; users(a)ovirt.org <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone Try looking at the RHEV info here and go to section 6.2.2 and see if that helps. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.0/... ________________________________________ From: Jeremy Tourville <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com&gt; Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 2:26 PM To: Robert Webb; users(a)ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone OK, I was able to get the backup completed. I am a little confused on how to do the restore though. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Resto... Is this link even applicable? My environment is a single node, not EL based. Anyhow, here is what I have so far- [root@engine glusterfs]# engine-backup Start of engine-backup with mode 'backup' scope: all archive file: /var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup log file: /var/log/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log Backing up: Notifying engine - Files - Engine database 'engine' - DWH database 'ovirt_engine_history' Packing into file '/var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup' Notifying engine Done. [root@engine glusterfs]# I moved the backup file to my new engine. How do I perform the restore? The directions say: # engine-backup --mode=restore --file=file_name --log=log_file_name --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions What is the file name and log_file name? Do I need to do something to unpack my backup file? ________________________________ From: Robert Webb <rwebb(a)ropeguru.com&gt; Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 9:13 AM To: jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com <jeremy_tourville(a)hotmail.com>; users(a)ovirt.org <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; Subject: RE: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone Can you take a backup of the original, build the new one, then do a restore?
