Hello Yedidyah
Many thanks for clarification.
If I wanted to convert my all-in-one installation to a "supported" one
(on a single box), would I have to migrate my engine into a self-hosted
VM? What would be the most common way to conform?
I was able to fix my problem by:
* uninstalling oVirt
* yum update
* installing oVirt 4.4.3
* installing cockpit-ovirt-dashboard (which installs vdsm etc. as
dependency)
* modifying the engine-backup script (don't bail out on restore if
version<4.3.10)
* Restore engine from backup file
* engine-setup
* Reinstall host from oVirt UI
Many thanks

This is called all-in-one. Was officially supported until 3.6, and is
unsupported, undocumented and untested these days, although people
seem to be using it, and even more-or-less successfully.
To get an overview of what you should do, if you follow the current
documentation, you should read both engine-specific parts and
hosts-specific parts.

Please try 'Reinstall'.
This should install vdsm for you, among many other things.
