One thing, if all else fails, is to convert your Export Domain to
a Data Domain with a few edits to the metadata.<br>

<br>
Grrr. Visa-versa. Convert to an Export Domain from your old Data
Domain.<br>

Then install a fresh engine and import your old VMs.<br>
<br>
Personally, I'd install the same version as you had previously,
then make sure you can attach your new Export domain (old Data
domain), then upgrade.<br>
<br>
Some guides for conversion are in this thread:<br>

<br>
Note that's from a while ago. I am not sure it still works exactly
the same. Make sure to backup your metadata file first.<br>
<br>
I did something a bit similar earlier today, by editing the
metadata on an Export domain to remove information about the
previously-attached Data Center.<br>
