Hi All, I am in serious need of some help. We currently have our Hosted Engine running on a Storage Domain, but that storage Domain is connected to a San that needs to be decommissioned. What would I need to do in order to get my Hosted Engine running on a different Storage Domain? Will I need to build a new CentOS server, download and Install the oVirt Setup, and then restore the backup that I took of my original Hosted Engine, using “engine-backup --mode=backup”? I tried looking around at backup solutions that would restore the whole VM to a different Storage Domain, but I can’t seem to find anything. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

It is my understanding that yes taking a full backup and then redploying into a new storage domain using the backup is the correct way - I dont think you'd need a new physical server for it though unless you mean you are running on bare-metal.

Hi Joseph, Thanks for the reply. So in short, the process will then be to 1) Take a backup of the Hosted Engine, 2) Do a clean-up of the Hosted Engine, and then lastly redeploy on one of the nodes using hosted-engine deploy? After that then I will do a restore?
