Hello!
Is it possible to "migrate" an existing asset to another CI?
Context:
I am facing the following situation:
Server X - Created manually in cmdb_ci_server class and has asset A linked to it
Server Y - Created by discovery in cmdb_ci_rhv_server class. No asset was created when the CI was created by discovery.
Server Y is the same server as X, but X was created before the enablement of discovery for oVirt servers and was not "promoted" to cmdb_ci_rhv_server during the discovery. Instead, a new CI was created: Server Y.
Is there any possibility to migrate the asset A from server X to server Y, in order to keep the asset to the discovered server?
And additional question: Is there any way to have the CIs in cmdb_ci_server promoted to ovirt(cmdb_ci_rhv_server) automatically during discovery(e.g. like a linux server is promoted from the "Server" class to "Linux Server" class)?
Thank you!

Take a look at de-duplication:
Functionally, you would be able to leverage it to keep the "asset" <> "oldest CI" but merge the "oldest CI" and "discovered CI" into one - including the historical task associations, relationships and attributes.
Hope that helps!
