Luckily this is for a home lab and nothing critical is lost. However I was trying to change the subnet my host was on. And I found out that you cant do that. So I reverted back but my hosted engine wasnt happy about my NFS mounts. so I did a engine-cleanup and an engine-setup. Went through the prompts and thought nothing of it. I logged back into ovirt, and everything looks like it was a brand new install. No VMs or anything. I believe I have a fairly recent backup somewhere... trying to track that down, but it's not looking good. Currently running 4.3.10. I have been planning out my 4.4 upgrade anyways. I would prefer to not start from scratch... but if I do it is not the end of the world, will just take a lot more time. Looking for some guidance!

I believe I should have the dump from the initial engine-setup. Can that be used? Also, I'm only running about 8 vms and need to start over for 4.4. Would it be easier to just reinstall and import the disks? On Sat, Sep 18, 2021, 5:11 PM Jayme <jaymef(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Do you have a backup of the hosted engine that you can restore?

I appreciate the quick replies. Yes very basic. Single host/node with NFS and local storage. I will try to reinstall the host and import. I haven't had to do this yet!
