(Master) is only the flag which OVF-STORE files are active used to store runtime and configuration storage options.

What's the storage type of your Hosted Engine Domain ?

To remove a domain, you have to put it first into maintenance, then the (Master) status automatically switch to another domain. If you really want to determine with destination for master domain you got, two domains are correct, but it's not importend where the master lives, expect the "to be removed" domain.

  Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DataCenter -> Centername -> Right Click  -> Maintenance

Now you have two Options: Detach or Destroy

  Detach: OVF-FILES and Disks are not really physical removed and can't imported later to another DC.

      Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DataCenter -> Centername -> Right Click  -> Detach

  Detroy: Storage would be blanked, OVF-Store Disks, thats what you want here.

        !!!! Warning migrate your all your disks first! !!!!

     Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DotDotDot menu -> Detroy

thanks,

I'm trying to move away from NFS due to the poor vw performance and problems I had with it.  Hence wanting to move the master domain and HE domains over to iscsi domains. I have now an export domain, an ISO domain, and HostedEngine domain. From my reading, to switch master, you need to have only 2 data domains, then put the old one into maint and it will switch to the new one.  Only then can you remove the old one...  is that not correct?

I gained access to that article by creating a dev account, didn't realize it was free ;)

    Alright, some combination of messing around got me mostly back up

    good job
    The procedure now, as I understand it, is to shut down all vms,
    why ?
    put all storage domains into maintenance
    which additional domain you have ?
    except the old NFS and new SCSI domain, then push the NFS one
    into maintenance, which *should* promote the ISCSI domain to master.
    it's going to happen. but it's not importend for ovirt where the
    master lives.
      After that, I'll try to move the HE storage to iscsi too,
    although it would be very helpful to have access to this document
    <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2998291> for that procedure.

    Sorry i have also no access, but it sounds like backup/restore ...

        Hi Vincent,

        nice to hear the news :-)
        I have read the BZ and see you run into NFS trouble and
        solved it now.

        I took a look on my centos server for nfs data domains and
        see server running V4 and the clients (node mounts with
        protocol vers=4.1)

        I run the latest (and greatest) ovirt stable 4.2.6.4-1 on
        centos 7.5+ with
        engine installed and a ovirt-node 4.2.6.4.

        * If you can migrate your running VMs and can switch your SPM,
          i would upgrade and reboot the hosts one by one, now.

        * reboot seem to be a minimum, remember you do that `virt.
        thing´,
          therefor you can access and boot your bare metal and host
        os ;-)


        ok, back to iSCSI, i have also a EQUALOGIC running as iSCSI
        target over years.

        * I have allowed multi host access to the volumes which ovirt
        uses.
          Access control lists contains raw IP addresses from my
        ovirt-hosts.

          ovirt handles the volume access virtuos with multipathd and
        lvm vg’s and lv’s.
          unused lvs are offline (host specific) and released volumes
        are deactivated.
        * Also it’s possible you have to reinstall (from GUI) your hosts,
          to upgrade or install the needed packages, which handles
        iSCSI Client access.

        * If you then free from errors and your iscsi data domain
        still missing, we talk
          about vg activation and domain import.

        Sheers

        Ok, getting somewhere here.

        did a rpcinfo -p and found no nfs entries in portmap.

        systemctl stop nfs
        systemctl start nfs

        Suddenly shares are mounted and datacenter is up again.

        was able to add export domain over NFS.

        Why would nfs shit the bed?

        still can't seem to get iscsi mounted properly now, and
        that's where all the disks are located :/

            Thanks for your help Oliver,

            To give you some background here:

            Host 1 on Ovirt 4.2 attached to NFS storage
            Host 2 I upgraded to Ovirt 4.2.5 and then 4.2.6, since
            then it has had troubles with NFS due to this bug
            https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595549.
             The host was up and could run the hosted engine, but
            could not migrate any VMs to it.

            I decided to switch from NFS to ISCSI so that I could
            stay on current releases.   So I began the work of
            attaching iscsi domain.

            The iscsi domain attached, and I transferred most of the
            disks to it.  Then it started melting down saying that
            Host 1 could not mount it, and the whole DC went down.

            Current status is data center "non responsive". Keeps
            trying "Reconstructing master domain on Data Center"
            over and over again but always fails.  Master domain
            status is "inactive".  Clicking activate fails.  The new
            ISCSI domain, I put in maintenance until I figure the
            rest out. I can't add or remove any other domains, Ovirt
            says I need to attach the master first.

            Both hosts are "UP".   Host 1 health is "bad"   Host 2
            health is "ok", and it is running HE.  Host 1 (the 4.2
            host) says "this host needs to be reinstalled".  But the
            reinstall option is grayed out.

            I am weary about updating host1, because of the NFS
            storage bug... I fear it won't ever be able to attach
            the old domain again.

            If I try mounting the NFS shares in cockpit from either
            node, they say "mount.nfs: Remote I/O error".   However
            on another blank centos machine sitting on the same
            network, I can mount the shares normally.

                I'm ready to give up on the installation and just
