How to restore Storage Domain from disaster recovery

My engine drop dead so had to create a new one and I'm trying to recover virtual drives from previous engine. I'm using next instructions to import storage domain https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/importstor... but in order to do it well need to unattach storage domain from previous engine which that is not possible right now since the engine has died. Anyway discarting requirements I got the following warning message: This operation might be unrecoverable and destructive! Storage Domain(s) are already attached to a Data Center. Aproving this operation might cause data corruption if both Data Centers are Active. Do you have an idea how to deactivate a Storage domain without ovirt-engine? Is there any chance to export virtual drives as backups without engine? Thanks in advance.

I solve the problem by login to host and run command ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup as super user and respond yes to any question. Go to Storage -> Storage Domain on the ovirt portal and click Import Storage. Type the information of storage and selected cluster (none). Open imported storage domain -> tab Data Center click Attach and select the desired Data Center. BTW the datacenter must support the Storage Domain Version. Then proceed to import vms, disks, templates. Hope you don't need this procedure.
