Migrate hosted engine to a new storage domain
Hi We are planning on moving to a different storage solution and I'm curious, is there a way to migrate the hosted engine's storage domain to the new solution? It's NFS currently and can be NFS on the new storage as well.
From what I've read it looks like it should be possible to
1. Take a full backup of the engine VM 2. Deploy another hosted engine VM with hosted-engine --deploy 3. Install/configure CentOS 7.3 4. Deploy new engine with engine-setup 5. Then restore the backup into the new VM. What I'm not sure of is if that backup will contain enough of it's data to restore to a completely different storage domain? Also, the engine database is on a remote server, the data warehouse service and all other aspects of the hosted engine reside on the VM. Thanks, Logan

I read through that and it makes sense. It also said that moving the hosted engine's storage was a 4.1 feature, but I didn't see it on the release notes for RC 2. Is it still planned for 4.1? Do you have the BZ handy so that I can track it? Logan On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 10:06 AM, Logan Kuhn <support@jac-properties.com> wrote:

Yes, it's in. It's tracked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240466 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235200 We have still something to improve on corner cases if the hosts you want to filter out in the restore process were not in maintenance mode when you took the backup but the functionality is there.
