Hi Paul, Thanks for the response. I think you're suggesting that I take a hybrid approach, and do a restore of the current Engine onto the new VM. I hadn't thought about this option.
Essentially what I was considering was either:
- Export to OVA or something
OR
- Build a completely new oVirt engine with a completely new domain, etc...
and try to live migrate the VMs from the old engine to the new engine.
Do I understand you correctly that you're suggesting I install the OS onto a
new VM, and try to do a restore of the oVirt settings onto the new VM (after I
put the cluster into Global maintenance mode and shutdown the old oVirt)?
