You can try to follow the discussion here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1240466 Basically you have to: - take a backup of the engine with engine-backup - deploy from scratch on an host pointing to the new storage domain - - if you are going to use the engine appliance, here you have to avoid automatically executing engine setup since: - - - you have to manually copy the backup to the new VM - - - you have tu run engine-backup to restore it, - - - only after that you can execute engine-setup - at the end you can continue with hosted-engine setup *** - then you have to run hosted-engine --deploy again on each host to point to the new storage domain *** the flow is currently broken here: hosted-engine-setup will fail since: - the old hosted-engine storage domain is already in the engine (since you restored the DB) but you are deploying on a different one - the engine VM is already in the DB but you are deploying with a new VM - all the hosted-engine host are already in the engine DB So you'll probably need to manually edit the engine-DB just after DB recovery in order to: - remove the hosted-engine storage domain from the engine DB - remove the hosted-engine VM from the engine DB - remove all the hosted-engine host from the engine DB since you are going to redeploy them We are looking for adding this capability to engine-backup
I am also planning to move hosted engine from NFS storage to ISCSI .

Hi , Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to get this feature integrated in in upcoming releases . One more question 1) I have few Raw disks (/dev/sdx or some LVM's ) and I need to directly attach it to oVirt VM without any file system bottle necks. But this VM is part of data center(shared type) . We are not planning to use any shared storage and shared data center . Here use case is that One Of the VM(HP StoreVirtial Applaince ) is our software oriented storage which will consume raw disks which are attached to local host. How to do that ? I see that attach disk shows only NFS/ISCSI /direct LUn optins .

Thanks for your time.
You can expose it over iSCSI via targetcli and directly attach it to the single VM as a direct LUN.

Basically you have to: - take a backup of the engine with engine-backup - deploy from scratch on an host pointing to the new storage domain - - if you are going to use the engine appliance, here you have to avoid automatically executing engine setup since: - - - you have to manually copy the backup to the new VM - - - you have tu run engine-backup to restore it, - - - only after that you can execute engine-setup - at the end you can continue with hosted-engine setup *** - then you have to run hosted-engine --deploy again on each host to point to the new storage domain
*** the flow is currently broken here: hosted-engine-setup will fail since: - the old hosted-engine storage domain is already in the engine (since you restored the DB) but you are deploying on a different one - the engine VM is already in the DB but you are deploying with a new VM - all the hosted-engine host are already in the engine DB
So you'll probably need to manually edit the engine-DB just after DB recovery in order to: - remove the hosted-engine storage domain from the engine DB - remove the hosted-engine VM from the engine DB - remove all the hosted-engine host from the engine DB since you are going to redeploy them

Just another things, you'll probably have also to filter that devices out of LVM.
