[ovirt-users] Unable to find OVF_STORE after recovery / upgrade

[Sam Cappello]

Hi,
so i was running a 3.4 hosted engine two node setup on centos 6, had 
some disk issues so i tried to upgrade to centos 7 and follow the path 
3.4 > 3.5 > 3.6 > 4.0.  i screwed up dig time somewhere between 3.6 and 
4.0, so i wiped the drives, installed a fresh 4.0.3, then created the 
database and restored the 3.6 engine backup before running engine-setup 
as per the docs.   things seemed to work, but i have the the following 
issues / symptoms:
- ovirt-ha-agent running 100% CPU on both nodes
- messages in the UI that the Hosted Engine storage Domain isn't active 
and Failed to import the Hosted Engine Storage Domain
- hosted engine is not visible in the UI
and the following repeating in the agent.log:

I have searched a bit and not really found a solution, and have come to 
the conclusion that i have made a mess of things, and am wondering if 
the best solution is to export the VMs, and reinstall everything then 
import them back?
i am using remote  NFS storage.
if i try and add the hosted engine storage domain it says it is already 
registered.
i have also upgraded and am now running oVirt Engine Version: 
4.0.4.4-1.el7.centos
hosts were installed using ovirt-node.  currently at 
3.10.0-327.28.3.el7.x86_64
if a fresh install is best, any advice / pointer to doc that explains 
best way to do this?
i have not moved my most important server over to this cluster yet so i 
can take some downtime to reinstall.
thanks!
sam
