Hello,
after restoring hosted-engine from a backup, i have several problems. Let's start with the first, other threads for others...
I can't see hosted-engine vm in vm list.
This is one issue.
Looking at engine log, i see the following:

This is another.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
Web management interface is working except for the fact that i can't add new nodes and forget a storage domain which is no more existent.
Please clarify first the flow you are/were going through.
Was the original setup a hosted-engine?
How did you restore? If using 'hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file', did you use a new storage domain? Did the first issue (can't see HE VM) happen right after finishing restore? Did you try anything else to fix this? In particular, did you try to import the old hosted_storage domain?
If you followed some guide/document, please share a link to it. Thanks.
Perhaps check/share also setup logs, from the host used for deploy/restore.
Good luck and best regards,
