9:30 a.m.
Logs as Yedidyah requested are attached. There was nothing in /tmp/ovirt*
on the host. The host should be ovirttest1 in the logs
I saw that those options existed, but unfortunately the decision was made
to stay on 4.0.6 for now since other than this we have been quite pleased
with it.
With that said, I do know for certain the previous environment wasn't in
global maintenance before that backup was taken. Does that mean it's not
viable or can we make some database modifications to clean it up?

The point is that the DB you restored contains references to the
hosted-engine storage domain and to the engine VM you used on your initial
hosted-engine env.
You have to clean up these references to let the engine correctly import
the new hosted-engine env.
With 4.1 we introduced two new options to engine-backup in order to make
correctly working for a backup took on a previous hosted engine env, they
are:
--he-remove-storage-vm Removes the hosted-engine storage
domain, all its entities and the hosted-engine VM during restore.
--he-remove-hosts Removes all the hosted-engine hosts
during restore.
Hosted-engine host should be redeployed as well since they point to the
previous env as well.
The correct path to migrate from a previous hosted-engine env to a new one
is:
- set global maintenance mode on the previous env
- set maintenance mode for the hosted engine hosts on the previous engine
- take the backup of the previous engine
Follow https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/
engine/migrate-to-hosted-engine/ adding '--he-remove-storage-vm
--he-remove-hosts ' to the DB restore command.
