Re: [ovirt-users] Ovirt 4.1 testing backup and restore Self-hosted Engine

Hi, I was able to remove the hostedEngine VM, but I didn't succeed to remove the old hostedEngine Storage domain. I tried several time to remove it, but I couldn't, the VM engine goes in pause mode. All I could do is to detach the hostedEngine from the datacenter. I then put all the other data domains in maintenance mode, the I reactivated my master data domain hoping that it will import the new hostedEngine domain, but without luck. It seems like there is something missing in this procedure.
