Dear all, I have a question. I know have my ovirt-engine running on a server on virtualbox. But I would like to add this server to my ovirt hypervisors pool. This OR I would like to update my current hypervisor (which is in centos 6.7) to centos 7 for the live snapshot removal support. (for taking backups) Is this possible *WITHOUT *losing my current vms. I only have 1 hypervisor at the moment, so migrating the VM's to another host isn't an option... Would this be possible with exporting the VMS to an export domain --> Full reinstall of the hypervisor --> import the VM's again from the export domain? (safely) Kind regards, Koen

You can spare the export by the import storage domain feature which includes the VM import (the discs and the OVF are on the domain). You can u/g the Centos host, install hosted engine and import the storage domain with the VMs. Would this be possible with exporting the VMS to an export domain --> Full
reinstall of the hypervisor --> import the VM's again from the export domain? (safely)
Kind regards,
Koen
