Hello, This is how I did it just recently. I have an centos 7 with a standalone ovirt engine and a couple off nodes with vm's running on them.
I used this document as a guide. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html Make sure your environment is update to the latest 4.3 "engine-upgrade-check", "dnf update ovirt\*setup\" and then run "engine-setup" and also " yum update --nobest" On the 4.3 engine you need to stop the engine "systemctl stop ovirt-engine" and even disable it "systemctl disable ovirt-engine" Take the backup "engine-backup --scope-all --mode=backup --file=backup.bck --log=backup.log" Install a new minimal centos 8 stream, update it to the latest and greatest and then add the repository "dnf -y install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release4.4.rpm". Then run "dnf module -y enable javapackages-tools pki-deps postgresql:12 mod_auth_openidc:2.3 nodejs:14" and "dnf distro-sync --nobest" If you are using SSO on the oldenvironment you need to run this "dnf install ovirt-extenstion-aaa-ldap ovirt-engine-extention-aaa-misc" Install the packages "dnf install -y ovirt-engine" Then copy over the backup and restore them "engine-backup --mode=restore --file=backup.bck --provision-all-database" Now run the command "engine-setup" And that's it. make sure the ovirt-eninge on the new server is running "systemctl status ovirt-engine" and start it if it isn't "sysemctl enable --now ovirt-engine" Now you should see everything again but still need to upgrate the nodes. Kind regards. Op za 25 feb. 2023 om 07:20 schreef KSNull Zero <ksnul...@gmail.com>: > Anyone ?
