yeah, data domain cannot be removed while having objects on it.
what you can do is this:
1. if you want to be able to move vms from one setup to another you need
to use the Export domain.
You can back up your vms on that and attach and detach it from different
setups (but it can only be attached on one Data Center at a time to
avoid corruption from two different users exporting the same vm or
writing to the same spot).
Yes, I already succeeded in doing that, and this is convenient.
But the goal of this discussion is to deal with a disaster.
When all what's left is a SAN, how can I import these data into a new oVirt?
I'm open minded, and any solution will be welcomed.
2. I am not sure that you can run a vm created in 3.3 DC/cluster level
to 3.1, or at lease run it with no issues at all because of version
changes made. but worth to try and report any issues :)

Hi,
At present, I have a 3.1 oVirt setup and a new 3.3 other oVirt setup.
Those two setups have no relations, except they are plugged on the
same iSCSI SAN.
I was trying to to the following test :
- on ovirt3.1, create a new storage domain
- put it a VM disk
- shutdown this VM
- desactivate the storage domain
- detach it
- on the ovirt3.3, attach this storage domain as an additionnal one
(obviously, I already have a master domain)
- activate it
- start the VM
But on the first part of this plan, I can't even detach it because
"Cannot detach Storage Domain while VMs/Templates reside on it.
-Please remove all objects and try again."
Well, OK.
In fact, let's forgot the speach above and just read this :
I'm trying to understand what I can do with my oVirt LUNs when I get a
complete serious crash (datacenter on fire) and I just have the SAN.
I was hoping I could import the storage domains into another oVirt
setup. Maybe I should store data another way?
I'm sure you know the best practices - the oVirt way.
