OpenNebula can't import VMs from the deployment.0 files. There are lots of
things missing: who is the owner? That IP was hardcoded, or is a lease from
a vnet? To which Image belongs that disk, is it a link or a copy? Driver to
copy back the disk to the datastore?

I see two approaches to this:
- Save all your VM templates and Image templates. Start over, and register
everything, but for the Images use SOURCE instead of PATH to make use of
the current files in your DS.
- Upgrade to 4.6, undeploy all VMs, and delete all hosts, users, etc. you
don't want to keep.

Regards.
