Hi,=3D0A   In case of a total failure of the hosted engine VM, it is recom=
=3D
mended to recreate a new one and restore a backup. I hope it works, I wi=3D
ll probably have to do this very soon.   But is there some kind of "plug=3D
 and play" features, able to rebuild configuration by browsing storage d=3D
omains, if the restore process doesn't work ?   Something like identifyi=3D
ng VMs and their snapshots in the subdirectories, and the guess what is=3D
 linked to what, ... ?    I have a few machines but if I have to rebuild=3D
 all the engine setup and content, I would like to be able to identify r=3D
esources easily.   A few times ago, I was doing some experiments with Xe=3D
nServer and destroyed/recreated some setup items : I ended with a lot of=3D
 oprhan resources, and it was a mess to reattach snapshots to their resp=3D
ective VMs. So if oVirt is more helpful in that way ...   Regards =3D0A=3D0=
