Hi Sven,
to test I created a new VM with a new hostname and fake IP addresses in
/etc/hosts for the oVirt hosts/nodes so it won't interfere with the real hosts. I then
did a full restore from backup and an engine rename. This leaves you with oVirt system but
the no storage or hosts. There are a lot of errors in the logs and events but you can use
it to test the engine upgrade, etc.
