Hey Fabrice! Thanks for getting back! Got a few more questions

You mean 4.5.5? In what way is it broken?

How did you manage to do this without downtime? If you reinstalled the hosts 
how did you keep your VMs online? 

Right now I have two nodes/hosts running on two different machines. Could I 
just do this:
1) Move all my VMs to one node.
2) Fully reinstall (new OS, oVirt engine) the empty host.
3) Backup the engine on the old host.
4) Import the backup on the new host.
5) Somehow get my VMs moved with or without downtime. 
6) Reinstall the the second/old host. 

But how would I get my VMs from the old to new host in this scenario?
