Hi,

I have a ovirt "cluster" with one manamgement node and a single virtualization node.

After fiddling with the database manually, I had to restore a database backup. The database backup was from a time when the host hat 7 virtual machines - it now has 9.

So there are now two machines "missing" from the web-interface. They're still running on the node itself but ovirt-engine keeps logging:

[org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.VdsUpdateRunTimeInfo] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-8) VDS::UpdateVmRunTimeInfo Error: found VM on a VDS that is not in the database!

Is there a way to "re-import" the machine into the database so it can be managed from the web-interface again?

well im not sure if there is a tool that does it automatically, but you can try the following (never tried this before, but should work): on the host that run the vms: * run vdsClient 0 getAllVmStats (or vdsClient -s 0 getAllVmStats if you are using secure connection) * find in the result the vm id (first line) and the image id for each disk of the vms * find under /rhev/data-center/{dc-id}/mastersd/master/vms/{vm-d}/ the ovf file which contains the vm info * find the vm disk images on the storage domains * use ovirt-image-uploader to upload the vm to an export domain (you need to look how exactly to do this one.. :) ) * import the vm.
