Hi Chris, the upgrading from Fedora 17 with oVirt 3.1 to Fedora 18 with
oVirt 3.2 still has some issues open.
I'm assuming you haven't disabled the ovirt repo during the upgrade of
Fedora, so ovirt was upgraded by fedup.

I'm assuming you've already fixed your installed rpms with yum
distro-sync and upgraded the posgresql database using postgresql-setup
upgrade.
But if you've not run engine-upgrade the DB schema was not updated.
The only way I can suggest you for having it running again is to try to
downgrade your rpms to oVirt 3.1 taking them from oVirt repo for Fedora 17.
Once ovirt is running again, I think you should be able to do a backup
(http://www.ovirt.org/User_talk:Stkeimond/Backing_Up_And_Restoring_OVirt),
export your VMs, install oVirt from Fedora 18 oVirt repository and
re-import your VMs on a fresh install.
