Re-raising this for discussion. As I commented on the bug, Hosted Engine is such a special use case in terms of setup, configuration, and migration that I'm not sure engine itself is the right place to handle this. We have the option of changing the ha broker|agent to use the engine API to initiate migrations, but there's still a risk that the hosts in the secondary cluster will not be able to reach the storage, etc.
It would be great to get this resolved if there's not currently a way to do it, but we need to decide on a long-term direction for it. Currently, HE can run on additional hosts in the datacenter as an emergency fallback, but it reverts once the HE cluster is back out of maintenance. My ideal would be to extend the hosted-engine utility with an additional parameter which reaches out to the Engine API in order to handle the needed database updates after some safety checks (probably over ansible) to ensure that the HE storage domain is reachable from hosts in the other cluster. But I'm not a hosted engine expert. Is there currently a way to do this? If there isn't, do we want to add additional logic to ha agent|broker, or reach out to the Engine?
