      1. Select the host to move to maintenance.
      2. Click Management Maintenance and click OK.

  3. Enable the gluster service in the cluster.

    1. Click Compute Clusters and select the cluster.

      The Edit Cluster window appears.

    2. Check the Enable Gluster service checkbox.
    3. Click OK.

  4. Reinstall all hosts except the self-hosted engine node.

    1. Click Compute Hosts.

    2. For each host except the self-hosted engine node:

      1. Select the host to reinstall.

      2. Click Management Reinstall and click OK.

        Wait for the reinstall to complete and for the hosts to become active again.

  5. Move the self-hosted engine node into maintenance mode.

    1. Select the self-hosted engine node.

    2. Click Management Maintenance and click OK

      The hosted engine migrates to one of the other hyperconverged hosts.
