Hello Kim, as it says in the documentation a SHE setup is more complex to maintain, see the following about upgrades, configuration changes and backups. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... Also there doesn't seem to be any documentation to move from back from SHE to a standalone engine.

Hi,

We currently have an ovirt engine running on a server. The server has CentOS installed and the ovirt-engine installed, but is not a node that hosts VM's. I would like to move the ovirt-engine to a self-hosted engine and it seems like this articles is the one to follow: https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt.... Am I correct that I can migrate from a bare-metal CentOS server engine to a self-hosted VM of the engine and is the documentation above the only documentation I will need to complete this process?

Kind regards

Hi Kim, The link is https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt.... and it seems OK. Also, you can take a look at https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.red... I would recommend you to: A) creare a backup of the engine B) create a test setup (for example in VMs) to prepare yourself for the process.
