We have had problems trying to get our broken hosted engine to work. The datastore for all the VM's was stored in an iscsi storage that was deactivated before the platform went down, I am now looking for a way to access this data and start the VM's outside of a running hosted-engine
Can I build an new ovirt standalone engine on a new bare metal remote server and connect to the hosts and start up the domain ?
I would be interested in your thoughts.
The problem with rebuilding the hosted-engine is that it cannot reuse the lun dedicated for the hosted-engine. I have tried to rebuild using NFS but it complains about not seeing the master domain
thanks

You can build a new separate oVirt environment and then do an "import domain" after granting access to the iSCSI targets.
See here for more information, supposing you are in 4.3:
