Hi Yanir,

We had our oVirt Engine running on a HW server so we decided to move it 
to hosted-engine. For this I've followed the Howto at 
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_Metal_to_an_EL-Based_Self-Hosted_Environment/.

The Hosted-Storage is located on a FC SAN LUN.

Please find attached the setup log.

Tanks a lot.

Regards,
Arsène
