Migrate self-hosted engine between cluster
Hello everibody, Iḿ a noob with ovirt and I have a problem. I have deployed a new enviroment with a self-hosted engine. Now, when I am learning about ovirt, I think that my engine should be in another cluster. How I can move my manage from one cluster to other?. Cheers
I am in the process of migrating the engine to a new cluster. I hope I will accomplish it this weekend. Fingers crossed. What you need to know: The migration is really a backup and restore process. 1. You create a backup of the engine. 2. Place the cluster into global maintenance and shutdown the engine. 3. Then you create a new engine on the other cluster and before engine-setup you restore the engine backup. 4. Start the new engine. From here I'm not yet sure what should happen in what order: - re-install the nodes with the old engine to remove the Engine HA Setup from that host. - re-install nodes on the new cluster to receive the Engine HA Setup. There is documentation about backup and restore of the engine here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Restoring_an...

Please notice that now we have hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=backup.tar.gz and this is fully automated
4. Start the new engine.
