One thing, if all else fails, is to convert your Export Domain to a
Data Domain with a few edits to the metadata.
Grrr. Visa-versa. Convert to an Export Domain from your old Data Domain.
Then install a fresh engine and import your old VMs.
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.
Some guides for conversion are in this thread:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-October/010258.html
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-November/010273.html
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.
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.
