Re: [Users] moving ovirt controller
Hi Rob, What you need to do is upgrade the engine using engine-setup and the SHA of the version you want. If you have the rpm for the newer version use it with engine-seyup. If not, you'll have to build on your own, the use engine-setup. Then you can migrate the DB. This, BTW, is highly not recommended, though this is the way to work. It's recommended to work with stable versions. Let me know us this works for you. Regards, Vered ----- Original Message -----

I just want to move the current controller to new hardware. That is my goal. My issue, if I may re-explain it, is that the package versions on the current controller are older than those on the new controller. The research I have done regarding migrating a controller is that the package versions must be the same in order for the database to migrate correctly. I have attempted to backup the database and restore it with the version differences, and it does restore, but the web interface is blank. Maybe I'm just missing something. I have been following the instructions at this URL: http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration <http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration#Original_package_versions>

I'm not sure what is it that you'd like to accomplish. You mention a DB and then packaging. Do you just want the current DB working in the new server? If so just restore it and upgrade (packaging/dbscripts/upgrade.sh).
In case this is not what you mean, maybe another eye on this would help, Ohad?

I am running ovirt-engine-3.4.0-0.2.master.20131107144332.git214186b.fc18.noarch on a server and I want to move it to another physical server. I did a fresh install on the new server and it is running ovirt-engine-3.4.0-0.2.master.20131119150718.git949cac2.fc18.noarch. I want to migrate the database from the old server to the new server. How can I upgrade the old server so that the package versions match the new server? Or, how can I downgrade the new server so that the packages match the old server?

didi - how does the backup/restore utility plays into this?

engine-backup is not really relevant to the current discussion - it can assist in the manual process that needs to be done, but it does not solve the issues with versions. So if the problem was with some conf file not copied, engine-backup might help, but if the problem is incompatibility between database and code, it won't. engine-backup does not have much documentation currently - see its '--help', also copied to [1].
