Moving hosted engine storage

I'm moving a 4.3 cluster to new storage, and I'm down to the hosted engine. I am reading the following: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/migrating_from_a_standalone_manager_to_a... https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/migrate-to-hosted-engin... https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/078739.html The last mentions a couple of options added to engine-backup to filter out the old hosted engine parts, but where do I use them? It looks like they only apply during restore, but from the last time I rebuilt the engine (mvoing from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7), I thought I just provided the backup file to hosted-engine --deploy and it handled the restore. Is there a way to pass those options to hosted-engine --deploy, or should I do like the example and just deploy a brand new engine, then log in and manually apply the backup (and filter options) then? Just trying to make sure I understand current (well, current for 4.3) best practice for replacing the hosted engine's storage array (iSCSI in this case, if that matters). -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>

I found where the backup is restored, in an Ansible play at /usr/share/ansible/roles/ovirt.hosted_engine_setup/tasks/restore_backup.yml I see that it manually cleans just the previous hosted engine VM and storage info - what if I just add the HE options from the third link to the engine-backup restore? -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
