Thank you Klass,

I tried that, and things just got stickier. The hosts could not be removed, and the re-installs failed.

I've backed up the engine database and am trying to move forward.

I am now in the middle of trying to re-install the ovirt 4.4 engine on a clean centos 8 (no way back at this point), and stuck because the engine-setup expects an init.d script, which postgres12 install on centos does not create.

See other thread in this list.

Greetings everyone,

My engine is well and truly hosed now. We can close this line of inquiry for the time being.

I am attempting to reload ovirt from scratch then restore to an older copy of my DB.

I'll follow up with my problems in another email chain.
