What's the storage type of your Hosted Engine Domain ?
To remove a domain, you have to put it first into maintenance, then the (Master) status automatically switch to another domain.
If you really want to determine with destination for master domain you got, two domains are correct,
but it's not importend where the master lives, expect the "to be removed" domain.Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DataCenter -> Centername -> Right Click -> Maintenance
Now you have two Options: Detach or Destroy
Detach: OVF-FILES and Disks are not really physical removed and can't imported later to another DC.
Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DataCenter -> Centername -> Right Click -> Detach
Detroy: Storage would be blanked, OVF-Store Disks, thats what you want here.
!!!! Warning migrate your all your disks first! !!!!
Storage -> Storage Domains -> Open (your domain) -> DotDotDot menu -> Detroy

thanks,
I'm trying to move away from NFS due to the poor vw performance and problems I had with it. Hence wanting to move the master domain and HE domains over to iscsi domains. I have now an export domain, an ISO domain, and HostedEngine domain. From my reading, to switch master, you need to have only 2 data domains, then put the old one into maint and it will switch to the new one. Only then can you remove the old one... is that not correct?
I gained access to that article by creating a dev account, didn't realize it was free ;)

Alright, some combination of messing around got me mostly back up and running here. Iscsi is working reliably, VMs are running on the new iscsi domain. the old NFS domain is empty save a couple of OVF_STORE disks.good job
why ?The procedure now, as I understand it, is to shut down all vms,
which additional domain you have ?put all storage domains into maintenance
it's going to happen. but it's not importend for ovirt where the master lives.except the old NFS and new SCSI domain, then push the NFS one into maintenance, which *should* promote the ISCSI domain to master.
After that, I'll try to move the HE storage to iscsi too, although it would be very helpful to have access to this document for that procedure.
Sorry i have also no access, but it sounds like backup/restore ...
RHEV Documentation is <a href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/">here</a>.
I think it's like E(BareMetal) <a href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html/self-hosted_engine_guide/chap-migrating_from_bare_metal_to_a_rhel-based_self-hosted_environment">(see here)</a>to HE(ISCSI), but you want HE(NFS) to HE(iSCSI).
It's time for a new mailing thread.

Hi Vincent,
nice to hear the news :-)I have read the BZ and see you run into NFS trouble and solved it now.
I took a look on my centos server for nfs data domains andsee server running V4 and the clients (node mounts with protocol vers=4.1)
I run the latest (and greatest) ovirt stable 4.2.6.4-1 on centos 7.5+ withengine installed and a ovirt-node 4.2.6.4.
* If you can migrate your running VMs and can switch your SPM,i would upgrade and reboot the hosts one by one, now.
* reboot seem to be a minimum, remember you do that `virt. thing´,therefor you can access and boot your bare metal and host os ;-)
ok, back to iSCSI, i have also a EQUALOGIC running as iSCSI target over years.
* I have allowed multi host access to the volumes which ovirt uses.Access control lists contains raw IP addresses from my ovirt-hosts.
ovirt handles the volume access virtuos with multipathd and lvm vg’s and lv’s.unused lvs are offline (host specific) and released volumes are deactivated.* Also it’s possible you have to reinstall (from GUI) your hosts,to upgrade or install the needed packages, which handles iSCSI Client access.
* If you then free from errors and your iscsi data domain still missing, we talkabout vg activation and domain import.

Ok, getting somewhere here.
did a rpcinfo -p and found no nfs entries in portmap.
systemctl stop nfssystemctl start nfs
Suddenly shares are mounted and datacenter is up again.
was able to add export domain over NFS.
Why would nfs shit the bed?
still can't seem to get iscsi mounted properly now, and that's where all the disks are located :/

Thanks for your help Oliver,
To give you some background here:
Host 1 on Ovirt 4.2 attached to NFS storageHost 2 I upgraded to Ovirt 4.2.5 and then 4.2.6, since then it has had troubles with NFS due to this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595549. The host was up and could run the hosted engine, but could not migrate any VMs to it.
I decided to switch from NFS to ISCSI so that I could stay on current releases. So I began the work of attaching iscsi domain.
The iscsi domain attached, and I transferred most of the disks to it. Then it started melting down saying that Host 1 could not mount it, and the whole DC went down.
Current status is data center "non responsive". Keeps trying "Reconstructing master domain on Data Center" over and over again but always fails. Master domain status is "inactive". Clicking activate fails. The new ISCSI domain, I put in maintenance until I figure the rest out. I can't add or remove any other domains, Ovirt says I need to attach the master first.
Both hosts are "UP". Host 1 health is "bad" Host 2 health is "ok", and it is running HE. Host 1 (the 4.2 host) says "this host needs to be reinstalled". But the reinstall option is grayed out.
I am weary about updating host1, because of the NFS storage bug... I fear it won't ever be able to attach the old domain again.
If I try mounting the NFS shares in cockpit from either node, they say "mount.nfs: Remote I/O error". However on another blank centos machine sitting on the same network, I can mount the shares normally.

Hi Vincent,
OK you master domain, isn't avail a the moment, but no panic.
First off all we need the status from your hosts. No HOSTS -> No Storage !
* Do you reboot them hard, without Confirm "Host has been rebooted"
* Are they actived in the DataCenter / Cluster ? Green Arrow ?

I was attempting to migrate from nfs to iscsi storage domains. I have reached a state where I can no longer activate the old master storage domain, and thus no others will activate either.
I'm ready to give up on the installation and just move to an HCI deployment instead. Wipe all the hosts clean and start again.
My plan was to create and use an export domain, then wipe the nodes and set them up HCI where I could re-import. But without being able to activate a master domain, I can't create the export domain.
I'm not sure why it can't find the master anymore, as nothing has happened to the NFS storage, but the error in vdsm says it just can't find it:

When I look in cockpit on the hosts, the storage domain is mounted and seems fine.
