[ovirt-users] Moving hosted engine storage

[Martin Sivak]

Hi Garry,

unfortunately it is not so easy. 

The ovirt-engine instance has a record with the storage domain setup that needs to be modified.

You also have to tell VDSM to mount the storage domain from a different place. And you will probably have to restart all the affected hosts at the same time to do that cleanly.

I am CCing Sandro who is maintaining the hosted-engine-setup tool and probably knows more about where else is the storage domain location stored.
