Dear Vered,
Thank you very much for your reply; I didn't expect this (at first hand)
simple action to be so hard/complex to perform.
My machine is indeed a single machine containing both a node,
webinterface and storage.
The old setup has been reinstalled, so I can't get that one to work
anymore. On the other hand I do still have a database dump from it.
I'm using the webadmin indeed and if I go to storage there's a button
saying import domain. In the dialogue that pops up after pressing that
button it's mentioned that I should use a FQDN/IP notation which made me
expect that it uses NFS ;-).
Yes I do have ovf's, this is a directory listing from one of the storage
domains:
