The pki folder is likely to be a problem but the backups folder is populated. Is there a way to remove client certs from hosts to restore access with a host add process?

as things stand now:

I manually reinstalled 3.1, then dropped the engine database and

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.

Do you still have the original backup of the database and the contents of the original /etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory? With those two things it is possible to recover.

I would suggest the following procedure:

1. Make a clean installation of 3.1, exactly the same version that you had before trying to update (make a backup of the database and of the /etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory before, just in case). During this installation use the answers that you used during the initial installation (specially the passwords).

2. Stop the engine, then drop and recover the database as you already did.

3. Restore the contents of the /etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory.

4. Start the engine.

You should be able to log in with the same credentials that you used in the original installation.

added 3.2 lines to dre ovirt yum repo (and disabled 3.1 - probably

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.
