Hi Boudewijn,

First of all, the wiki page you are referring to is a feature page that was 
never implemented.
We are currently working on the same feature, this is the correct feature page:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain .
I will ask that the irrelevant page be removed to avoid any further confusion.

Second, currently, the only way to import a domain is to create an export 
domain and import it.
Can you get the old setup-up and create an export domain?
If not, we'll try to help and work around this is issue, but this is going to 
be very complex, since this is not supported.

Just to have a general understanding of your setup - your storage on the same 
machine as ovirt engine?

I'm assuming you're using web-admin.
What exactly are you doing there? We don't have the import option there as you 
mentioned, so I don't understand how you could import an SD that was not export.
Adding the entry to /etc/exports is meaningless.

Do you have the ovfs of the old VMs available?
In the meantime checking for an easier solution than the above, will get back 
to you on that.

Vered
Dear Vered,


Thank you very much for your reply; I didn't expect this (at first hand)
simple action to be so hard/complex to perform.

hence the feature page you saw, to add this functionality (currently work in progress)

My machine is indeed  a single machine containing both a node,
webinterface and storage.

The old setup has been reinstalled, so I can't get that one to work
anymore. On the other hand I do still have a database dump from it.
I'm using the webadmin indeed and if I go to storage there's a button
saying import domain. In the dialogue that pops up after pressing that
button it's mentioned that I should use a FQDN/IP notation which made me
expect that it uses NFS ;-).

Yes I do have ovf's, this is a directory listing from one of the storage
domains:

How should I go on recovering those VMs?

change the domain into an export domain, attach it, and import the VMs from it (currently, you can only import an export domain)
i think this thread has the relevant info:
