I sort of had a feeling this day would come right from the moment I setup the hosted engine.

When I set it up I put it on a smaller hard drive with an NFS share and put the VMs on a different set of drives with NFS. The VMs have now been moved to an iSCSI share on a FreeNAS box.

The hard drive that contains the hosted-engine is now failing, and I have to move the contents of it to another drive, preferably without destroying my cluster and recreating it.

How can I accomplish this?

Just the drive itself? If can afford that, simplest would probably be to take down everything, copy the disk to a new one, then start up. If you can't afford the downtime, and/or have more complex needs (or setup), you might want to give some more details, and/or describe (based on your setup and needs) what you intend to do and what stops you from doing that. Good luck, -- Didi
