Import domain will work. The VM metadata is available on the OVF_STORE container, inside the domain. So even the names and settings come back. Them you gradually start moving the VMs to the Gluster storage. Sent from my iPhone

Off the top of my head, would you use the "Import Domain" option?

Hey folks,
I created a new cluster with a new engine, everything is green and running again (3 HCI, Gluster, this time Gluster 7.0 and CentOS7 hosts).
I do have a backup of the /images/ directory from the old installation. I tried copying (and preserving user/ permissions) into the new images gluster dir and trying a domain -> scan to no avail.
What is the correct way to introduce oVirt to "new" (or unknown) images?

Hey folks, thank you all for your replies. Turns out that in my use case creating a gluster volume manually, moving the DC folder back into gluster and importing the domain in oVirt Engine did the trick. The followed importing of the VMs was a bliss and really worked streamlined. I am truly baffled and amazed. I found my backup & disaster recovery option. Thank you all again for replying! -- with kind regards, mit freundlichen Gruessen, Christian Reiss
