I greatly appreciated these instructions, however there seems to be some
points missing.  The links on the landing page (User Portal, Administrator
Portal, Reports Portal) still have my old host name in them.  I can easily
work around this for the time being by clicking the link then manually
editing the URL of the failed page.  I my efforts to find out where this
might have happen, I found 2 places in the database that include the old
host name:

*option_id.*VdcBootStrapUrl
*option_id.*VirtualMachineDomainName.

I have corrected those and restarted oVirt engine, but the links still have
the old address.  So, I kept digging and found that there might be
references to the old host name in the storage_server_connections table,
e.g. ISOs.  Of course, that won't affect these links.

Where else might I find references to the old name?  Particularly for those
links?

Thanks!

I have put in a request for a wiki account and will update this page if I
am approved.  Please feel free to update before I get to it.  =)
