I did get a little further. First I ran engine-cleanup on my new engine where I will be running the restore operation. (I had previously run the engine-setup script on this machine) Then I ran this- [root@engine ~]# engine-backup --mode=restore --file=ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup --log=ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions Start of engine-backup with mode 'restore' scope: all archive file: ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup log file: ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log Preparing to restore: - Unpacking file 'ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup' Restoring: - Files Provisioning PostgreSQL users/databases: - user 'engine', database 'engine' FATAL: Existing database 'engine' or user 'engine' found and temporary ones created - Please clean up everything and try again Time to research further for that FATAL error message. Isn't that the purpose of engine-cleanup though? Why the conflict? ________________________________ From: Robert Webb <rwebb@ropeguru.com> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 1:42 PM To: Jeremy Tourville <jeremy_tourville@hotmail.com>; users@ovirt.org <users@ovirt.org> Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone Try looking at the RHEV info here and go to section 6.2.2 and see if that helps. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.0/htm... ________________________________________ From: Jeremy Tourville <jeremy_tourville@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 2:26 PM To: Robert Webb; users@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone OK, I was able to get the backup completed. I am a little confused on how to do the restore though. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Backing_up_and_Restorin... Is this link even applicable? My environment is a single node, not EL based. Anyhow, here is what I have so far- [root@engine glusterfs]# engine-backup Start of engine-backup with mode 'backup' scope: all archive file: /var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup log file: /var/log/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.log Backing up: Notifying engine - Files - Engine database 'engine' - DWH database 'ovirt_engine_history' Packing into file '/var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-backup-20200217125040.backup' Notifying engine Done. [root@engine glusterfs]# I moved the backup file to my new engine. How do I perform the restore? The directions say: # engine-backup --mode=restore --file=file_name --log=log_file_name --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --restore-permissions What is the file name and log_file name? Do I need to do something to unpack my backup file? ________________________________ From: Robert Webb <rwebb@ropeguru.com> Sent: Monday, February 17, 2020 9:13 AM To: jeremy_tourville@hotmail.com <jeremy_tourville@hotmail.com>; users@ovirt.org <users@ovirt.org> Subject: RE: [ovirt-users] Move Self Hosted Engine to Standalone Can you take a backup of the original, build the new one, then do a restore?

I have a single oVirt host running a self-hosted engine. I'd like to move the engine off the host and run it on a standalone server. I am running Software Version:4.3.6.6-1.el7 Can anyone tell me what the procedure is for that? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/C7IRADM7HZW RAD6Y6F76T5CS4ABQ3Y3R/
