So it looks like I'm going to move to a new datacenter. I went into somewhere 
cheap on a month-to-month contract earlier this year, and they've been a pain 
to deal with. At the same time, I've grown a lot faster than expected, so I've 
decided to move into a better, more reputable datacenter sooner rather than 
later.

I currently have HCI with 3 servers. Within the cluster, I can tolerate a host 
"failure", so I can run on 2 servers. I have a 4th server that I haven't really 
been doing anything yet, but I think will be a good asset to me as I move, to 
keep things to a minimum. One of my production nodes, as well as my 4th server 
don't have the right storage, so if/when I move things, I'll need to configure 
Gluster to run on a single node for a time. 

I'd like to ask about best practices here.
Before I move any hardware, I'm thinking about removing 1 of my 3 production 
servers from the existing HCI cluster, and installing a NEW hyperconverged 
single node onto this production server with Gluster storage. Then, add my 4th 
server to that new oVirt environment. Once I did that, I'm wondering if I could 
clone 100% of the VMs from the 1 environment over to the other.

Once that was done, I could move one of my oVirt clusters to the new 
datacenter, update DNS for the virtual servers, run a final rsync, and I'm done 
-- then I would just move the other two servers, do a fresh install of oVirt, 
and add them to the new cluster. 

Is this possible? 
Is there a better way to do this move?

Thanks,David
