Hello listmembers! I'm in search of some steps to use to migrate my Hosted-Engine from one NFS storage domain to another different NFS storage domain. One of the possible ways to accomplish this task may already be a feature with oVirt 4.1, I'm using 4.2 https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/078739.html (New feature in 4.1?) Will someone elaborate the steps to use this new feature and how I could use it to accomplish this task? the bug link in the email linked above has a comment (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409112#c12) - does this mean I need to redeploy the hosted-engine? I'm not able to follow as I'm new to oVirt and still learning the ins and outs and design if I'm on the wrong path here please correct me. Thank you, -Joel
Hi folks! There are even more links than I mentioned above and also others confused by the process: https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/078739.html https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-January/086116.html I'm still looking for an answer here - do I shut down my existing hosted VM and follow: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409112#c12 ? will I need to provision this on a new piece of metal that will be added to the stack? Thanks, Joel

Since 4.2.7 you have --restore-from-file=backup.tar.gz option in hosted-engine tool. You should take a backup with engine-backup and redeploy on a new storage domain. It will be fully automated and at the end you will have a new engine VM on a different storage domain; everything else will be imported with the backup. The old HE storage domain will be still visible in the new engine if you have to move other disks created there or similar, after that you can manually decommission it.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, it's been a while for my response. I presently have 3 hypervisors in this environment - do I need to remove one of the hypervisors from the cluster and use that to run the `hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=` command? or can this be done completely in-situ with a running hosted-engine running? I'm really unclear about where to start and the docs vary in description. Thanks for your help!
