[ovirt-users] migrating VMS from old hosted engine to new hosted engine

[Paul Groeneweg | Pazion]

Hi Yaniv,

I found out reason it didn't work was probably bug.

For reference probably https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1446878
I updated oVirt to release candidate 3 4.1.3 and this fixed the issue.

I am now investigating to have an extra 3.6 Dc in my new Hostedengine with
a Cluster setup as 3.6, so I can switch storage domain and do a roll back
to old Hosted engine in case of any problems.

Thanks for you comments!
