A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Virtualization

1.4. Changing the Data Warehouse Sampling Scale

Data Warehouse is required in Red Hat Virtualization. It can be installed and configured on the same machine as the Manager, or on a separate machine with access to the Manager. The default data retention settings may not be required for all setups, so engine-setup offers two data sampling scales: Basic and Full.
The sampling scale is configured by engine-setup during installation: 
--== MISC CONFIGURATION ==--
         
Please choose Data Warehouse sampling scale:
(1) Basic
(2) Full
(1, 2)[1]:
You can change the sampling scale later by running engine-setup again with the --reconfigure-dwh-scale option.

Example 1.1. Changing the Data Warehouse Sampling Scale

# engine-setup --reconfigure-dwh-scale

If you choose to not back up the database, and Setup later fails for some reason, it will not be able to restore the database and all DWH data will be lost.
Would you like to backup the existing database before upgrading it? (Yes, No) [Yes]:
