[ovirt-users] ovirt becomes unusable if master storage domain lost

[Maor Lipchuk]

Hi Bill,

Have you tried to re-initialize the Data Center with a new Storage Domain.
Add a new Storage Domain to the engine and keep it detached from any Data
Center.
Right click on the Data Center and choose "Re-Initialize Data Center"

Regards,
Maor
