Once you add the nfs storage domain you should be able to go into the storage domain in ovirt admin and there should be vms tab somewhere. You should have a list or your vms. Click on each then hit import to import the config into the new engine.

I appreciate the quick replies.  Yes very basic.  Single host/node with NFS and local storage.

I will try to reinstall the host and import.  I haven't had to do this yet!

It sounds like your setup is fairly basic. For quickness I’d personally just reinstall engine and import storage domains from nfs sever then import the vms. you can restore the hosted engine if you have a backup of it made by the proper hosted engine backup tool.

I believe I should have the dump from the initial engine-setup.  Can that be used?

Also, I'm only running about 8 vms and need to start over for 4.4.  Would it be easier to just reinstall and import the disks?

Luckily this is for a home lab and nothing critical is lost.  However I was trying to change the subnet my host was on.  And I found out that you cant do that.  So I reverted back but my hosted engine wasnt happy about my NFS mounts.

so I did a engine-cleanup and an engine-setup.  Went through the prompts and thought nothing of it.  I logged back into ovirt, and everything looks like it was a brand new install.  No VMs or anything.  I believe I have a fairly recent backup somewhere... trying to track that down, but it's not looking good.

Currently running 4.3.10.  I have been planning out my 4.4 upgrade anyways.  I would prefer to not start from scratch... but if I do it is not the end of the world, will just take a lot more time.

Looking for some guidance! Thank you.
