Description of problem:

As per Bug # 888027 I am having difficulty installing 3.2 Alpha on Fedora 18. As a result of those issues I wished to run engine-cleanup without dropping the database so that I could attempt to clean up the database manually.

Unfortunately running engine-cleanup with --dont-drop-db not only tries to interact with the database but fails when it can't.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.0-1.20121212.git01e08b2.fc18

Expected results:

engine-cleanup --dont-drop-db does not touch the database and successfully cleans up file system objects. If attempting to connect is unavoidable then all actions that can be completed without database interaction should be.

Actual results:

engine-cleanup --dont-drop-db fails with fatal error when attempting to connect to database.

Additional info:

# engine-cleanup --dont-drop-db
WARNING: Executing oVirt Engine cleanup utility.
This utility will wipe all existing data including configuration settings, certificates and database.
In addition, all existing DB connections will be closed.
Would you like to proceed? (yes|no): yes
