ovirt 4.1 hosted engine: Resize or Change "hosted-engine" Data Domain

hi at all, We have the "hosted engine" Data domain on a FC LUN too big for only the hosted-engine so we want to create another little FC LUN and move the hosted-engine vm on this new LUN and destroy old one ... Is there any official workflow or how to to do this operation? Or, someone can guide me? Thank you!

Hi, we do not have any nice procedure to do that. Moving hosted engine to a different storage usually involves backup and restore of the engine database. See for example here: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-June/082466.html Best regards -- Martin Sivak SLA / oVirt On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 12:20 PM, yayo (j) <jaganz@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, Sorry but I needs to migrate from one hosted-engine to another, so, where I can restore backup? Before or after the autoimport triggered? * Create new hosted-engine lun * Backup current hosted-engine * From one node execute hosted-engine --deploy --he-remove-storage-vm --he-remove-hosts Right? And after that? Can you help me to better understand? Thank you! Il 03 Gen 2018 14:39, "Martin Sivak" <msivak@redhat.com> ha scritto: Hi, we do not have any nice procedure to do that.

Please see this page: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Restorin... There, note that when you restore the engine ('engine-backup --mode=restore'), you should pass also '--he-remove-storage-vm' and '--he-remove-hosts'. Best regards,
Thank you!
