Can you reproduce it and attach the logs of the setup before the disaster
and after the recovery?
That could happen in case of new created VMs and Templates which were not
yet updated in the OVF_STORE disk, since the OVF_STORE update process was
not running yet before the disaster.
Since the time of a disaster can't be anticipated, gaps like this might
happen.
I haven't tried the recovery yet using ansible. It was an experiment
of possible procedure to be performed manually and was on 4.0.
I asked about this unexpected behavior and Yaniv returned me that was
due to OVF_STORE not updated and that in 4.1 there is an api call that
updates OVF_STORE on demand.
I'm creating a new setup today and i'll test again and check if i
still hit the issue. Anyway if the problem persist i think that
engine, for DR purposes, should upgrade the OVF_STORE as soon as
possible when a new vm is created or has disks added.

Basically it should also fail on VM/Template registration in oVirt 4.1 since
there are also other functionalities like mapping of OVF attributes which
was added on VM/Templates registeration.
What do you mean? That i could fail to import any VM/Template? In what case?
Another question:
we have 2 DCs in main site, do we require to have also 2 DCs in
recovery site o we can import all the storage domains in a single DC
on recovery site? There could be uuid collisions or similar?
Thank you so much for your replies,
