All,
   Thank you for your help! I love the linux community.

I actually was able to get my system up 2 days ago. I did a fresh 
minimal install of F17, and ovirt 3.1.
* ran engine-setup trying to use as many of the same variables as I 
would have around a year ago.
* shutdown jboss-as and ovirt-engine
* imported the database
* started services back up
* ran engine-config to reset the password
* restarted services
* was able to log in
* Had to wait roughly 10-15 minutes before ovirt decided that nothing 
was running and I could finally delete the nodes from my cluster
* Re-added the nodes.. they got the new certificates
* Networking & Storage (I use ISCSI) came back just fine
* SUCCESS !!! (such a great feeling)

. . . . and now you IDIOT (me) . . . . back up the certificates too!

If it can help I wrote an oVirt engine migration page for oVirt 3.1 on:

. I suppose some of the steps might be adapted for your case easily.

i don't remember the exact process of the top of my head, but it
    should
    be either:
    1. restore db, then install ovirt (exact same version by re-using the
        db.
    2. install ovirt, restore the db over it, and fix some config
    entries to
    correctly map the new certificates.
then just remove hosts and re-add them to generate new certs for them
    (or just move them to maint and re-install them via the link that
    should
    appear in the general subtab)
