[ovirt-users] can you re-create self hosted storage pool?

[Darrell Budic]

I had managed to splitbrain my lock files, and then screwed them up trying to heal them manually.

I wound up backing up my hosted engine disk, destroying the hosted engine storage volume, recreating the gluster volume and re-running setup to solve the lock issue, and copying over my hosted engine backup instead of reinstalling it all. Re-added the host nodes, and off it went. :)

Probably don't recommend that as a good thing, but it was my dev/testing cluster, so it can be done without reinstalling from scratch.
