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.

So the ovirt manager hard disk died, 3.3.4 version, i can't get it to spin up to get any data off.
I have an old copy of the manager database which was living on the manager machine.

What is the best procedure for restoring my ovirt setup? I've not been able to import the data store, only export and iso in the past.

Thanks in advance,

David
