[ovirt-users] New host HE 4.0 -> [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Specified gateway is not pingable

[Matt .]

OK, it seems that my config volume for the hosted engine is empty, I
cannot tar anything out of it and I'm quite sure it has been empty for
ever as I got some strange warning every time.

Is there a way to recover that from files ? Backups/snapshots are empty so...
