Re: [Users] Lost our management server.. have DB backup but no /etc/pki/

All, Thank you for your help! I love the linux community. I actually was able to get my system up 2 days ago. I did a fresh minimal install of F17, and ovirt 3.1. * ran engine-setup trying to use as many of the same variables as I would have around a year ago. * shutdown jboss-as and ovirt-engine * imported the database * started services back up * ran engine-config to reset the password * restarted services * was able to log in * Had to wait roughly 10-15 minutes before ovirt decided that nothing was running and I could finally delete the nodes from my cluster * Re-added the nodes.. they got the new certificates * Networking & Storage (I use ISCSI) came back just fine * SUCCESS !!! (such a great feeling) . . . . and now you IDIOT (me) . . . . back up the certificates too! ---David
