If you want, I can send you my log. I wasn't sure if that's what you meant. I just had the same problem again. - Stopped oVirt engine - Checked the 'async_tasks' table. It was empty! - Started oVirt engine - Same set of imported VMs as last time deleted! I thought that lingering records from the 'async_tasks' table were to blame, but apparently, that's not the case. Can you tell me what I need to check/do/modify/update/delete before restarting oVirt that will keep my VMs from being deleted? (Please see below for a note on upgrading like you suggested)

I enabled the beta channel just now, but that doesn't make a difference. 3.3.0-1 is the latest version. What am I missing? martijn@ovirt:~> sudo yum list all|grep ovirt-engine.noarch ovirt-engine.noarch 3.3.0-1.el6 @ovirt-beta
