Hello everybody,

I managed to re-install the server the oVirt engine was running on in my testlab. All the cpu and storages are still there and the VMs are still running without problems. Is there a way, I can attach the still existing nodes to the new oVirt engine and recover/import the VMs?

Do you have old DB dump in /var/lib/ovirt-engine/backup? If so, maybe restoring DB would be sufficient, won't be? jbelka
