[Users] Documentation: Storage Domain conversion from Data Domain to Export Domain

[Dafna Ron]

sorry Bob, di8d not notice that the p was cut from psql.

the db password is always given by you during installation (you give one 
for admin user and one for db)
you can probably see the the db and user name under /var/log/ovirt-engine/

but it should be user postgress and db engine
