They(VMs) are deleted. So, my situation is this:

I have clean install of ovirt 3.3.0beta with imported VMs from export 
domain. Everything works except snapshots. But when I restart ovirt mgmt 
server, VMs will disappear. Right now I am doing hourly backup of DB.

I can not use workaround with converting domain to export domain, 
because we use iscsi. It would be perfect if I can retake existing 
domain. Another gap is if I dont detach export domain I can not attach 
it to new datacenter and I have to manually edit some files. It would be 
absolutely perfect to do it from ovirt web gui (for example by "force 
override button")
