Check the host's cluster under the web interface - if it does not list a datacenter, you can move the host to maintenance, select the cluster, click 'edit' and then select a datacenter.

You need to find the storage connection and remove it manually from oVirt. This can be done with REST or SDK.

Hi Gadi,

My machine is indeed already in a DC, I missed that part of the bug
completely yesterday night ;-).

Regarding the storage connection: okay I'll have it removed.
On the other hand, will readding it by hand (again) help me in getting
my old VMs to work again? I really like ovirt, but having this amount of
problems when reinstalling my hypervisor really spoils the party :(.

Cheers,
