as things stand now:

I manually reinstalled 3.1, then dropped the engine database and restored from the backup. There were some errors at the end. Even though I used all the same passwords, the admin@internal account was not working. Used engine-config -s LocalAdminPassword='*****' to fix. On log in, everything is down, offline, unreachable. No hosts can be contacted. No storage is connected. Can't add a new host.

crud.

I copied the database backup and removed all the db creation part leaving just the data "copy into..." section (that was fun). Ran engine-cleanup then engine-setup then tried to restore just the data.

no joy there either.

The system is CentOS 6.3 as are the hosts. This ran wonderfully until I goofed trying to get the cli and sdk updated. Without the database working, I have no way to know what vm is what in the ISCSI LVM storage system to even export to another platform.

So I'm assuming my next step is panic (or total reinstall from bare iron?). I'm setting this up at work and today is my last day as I'm moving to a new job at a totally different organization. I'd hate to walk out and lose all the windows VMs and templates that were built over the last 2 months.

Process choked at opening the CA cert and proceeded to "rollback". Didn't actually roll back as 3.1 repo was disabled.

System still has 3.2 installed. Did yum update to pull in the cli/sdk 3.2 (wish I had done that first!).

Engine starts but fails to open CA to run gui. found following in log:

This error is caused by running ovirt-sdk on a older version of python (less then python27),
please upgrade your sdk/cli with one shipped in 3.2 (it's backward compatible to 3.1).

not related, but supported in 3.2 cli.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
