I think this step is not necessary.

+1 no need to rerun engine-setup

I am not sure what will happen with the imported hosted engine storage
domain in ovirt-engine. It might still show the old path in the UI.
Adding Roy.
For me the steps look good but I never did it. Adding Martin and Simone.

After that change make sure the old domain isn't reachable anymore. When the engine will start that domain will appear at Storage main-tab as unresponsive or some other error state. Right click it and choose "force remove" (don't choose the checkbox in the dialog)

The import should retrigger itself.

The only problem I see (ATM) is that the configuration disk image under this domain has a copy of hosted-engine.conf which is stale and has the old ID.

If this is working I would appreciate if you can jot down a small post on it, thanks!
