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.

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
