I need to migrate an ovirt-engine from an All-In-One (AIO) setup to a dedicated machine.
So with an old mailing message I've tried to do it but not finished yet, that's
why I ask for help.
I've written a wiki page for the experience so that it becomes a howto which can be
found here:
http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration
At the last step the one that finally starts ovirt-engine I've decided to ask help
here just in case I was missing something important.
So here are my doubts.
* Original message that inspired the howto is here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg00670.html
* What packages should I delete safely from an AIO setup so that it's just an
hypervisor once I've migrate the ovirt-engine part?
* Is the right way the one I've used to recreate the database?
** Origin
pg_dump -U postgres engine | gzip > engine_db.gz
** Destination
pg_dump -U postgres -s -f tempdb.dump engine
dropdb -U postgres engine
createdb -U postgres engine
zcat engine_db.gz | psql -U postgres engine
* Let's read: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg00682.html : WRT
certificates, note that hostname should nt change, or SSL will be invalidated.
Did he mean the SSL when you connect via http or https to the manager which currently
doesn't bother me?
Or maybe the SSL to connect to other hosts and communicate to vdsm (sorry if I'm
saying something nonsense. I don't understand oVirt architecture completely) which
bothers me?
* Certificates is: /etc/pki/ovirt-engine ? Something more?
* Conf is: /etc/ovirt-engine ? Something more?
Thank you!

All the ovirt-engine-* packages can be safely deleted, they are not used
by hypervisors.
There are a lot of other packages that can be removed that are
dependencies of ovirt-engine, like httpd, jboss-as and
java-1.7.0-openjdk, and many of the dependencies that they bring, so a
good way to start that cleanup is this:
yum remove 'ovirt-engine-*' 'httpd' 'java-1.7.0-openjdk'
'jboss-as'
That will remove more than 300 packages, as it will transitively include
all the Java packages. If you want to do further cleanups you can take a
look at the "package-cleanup" tool, but be careful or you may end up
with an useless system.
The default installation of ovirt-engine creates the "engine" database
owned by the "engine" user, but you are creating it owned by
"postgres"
instead. I think this won't break anything, but if you want to create it
exactly the same you can use the -O option of createdb:
createdb -U postgres -O engine engine
There is some information on how to change certificates here:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-October/004167.html
It is not trivial, so better if you don't change the host name.
* Conf is: /etc/ovirt-engine ? Something more?
Yes, /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine, but you should be able to use the one
generated during your new installation. The only difference will be the
database password.

I've updated the howto. Thank you!

I've finally come with:
* Origin:
pg_dump -U postgres engine | gzip > engine_db.gz
* Destination:
dropdb -U postgres engine
createdb -U postgres -O engine engine
zcat engine_db.gz | psql -U postgres engine
The last command was run finally with postgres user because using engine user I had these
warnings:
WARNING: no privileges could be revoked for "public"
REVOKE
WARNING: no privileges could be revoked for "public"
REVOKE
WARNING: no privileges were granted for "public"
GRANT
WARNING: no privileges were granted for "public"
GRANT

Can you please ellaborate why I should make sure that all these certificates know about
the new host name?
If this was a plain ssh key it would just work by copying and pasting its private key
file. That's why my doubts.
I don't mind if https at the browser complains about having one certificate for one
domain and being another one.
Maybe communication with vdsm on hypervisors will not work at all?
> * Conf is: /etc/ovirt-engine ? Something more?
Ok. I'll check that later. I understand that if no
difference is found apart from the database password then no need to modify it in the
destination.
Thank you!

New subject: [Users] oVirt engine migration howto and some doubts
A happy update on my ovirt-engine migration quest.
I've finally convinced myself that I had to change oVirt-engine hostname with all
these certificate instructions that jhernand mentioned.
My doubts are about the passwords mentioned in:
http://wiki.ovirt.org/How_to_change_engine_host_name
Are you supposed to change them? Or some of them are somehow default oVirt passwords?
So I've finally do it. oVirt-engine seems to find again all its hosts. I haven't
tried to interact with virtual machines (too late right now here) but everything seems ok.
The oVirt engine migration howto is found here:
http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration
The only thing that bothers me is finding:
WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.GetConfigurationValueQuery] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-6) calling
GetConfigurationValueQuery (SearchResultsLimit) with null version, using default general
for version
at engine.log. It might have been always there in the OldAIO but just noticed right now?
Should I bother?
Some thoughts:
* An extra step that nobody predicted was opening ports so that vdsm, libvirt tls, guest
consoles, migration and snmp were available. It would seem AIO firewall setup doesn't
open them by default and I understand it why... because it's locally, although not
opening migration ports makes me think if we cannot achieve migration on default AIO
installation. Maybe it's a bug on the all-in-one script that prepares the engine-setup
execution?
* As I've commented I'm glad that oVirt 3.2 database dump script let's you
select a file and doesn't save a fixed filename one.
Feedback is welcome so that the wiki page can be improved. Maybe someone can rewrite it to
adapt it to official oVirt language and official oVirt wiki style.
