[ovirt-users] Re: Recovery from power outage

I managed to do this successfully by copying the missing files from another host (host 2) but the first time the host ID matched one of the other hosts (which made at least hosted-engine --vm-status unhappy) [I hadn't seen your email yet :(]. I subsequently corrected the host_id and rebooted the guilty host. Things mostly seem to be working now except that in hosted-engine --vm-status my first two hosts (the one I copied the .conf from as well as the one I copied it to [without changing the ID :O]) now have the same hostname :-/ I'm assuming there's a mismatch in the engine database - where/how do I fix that?

Appreciated!
