If you don't have any backup of the hosted-engine VM, the best think you
could do is deploy hosted-engine from scratch and when you have the new
engine manually re-import the previous hosts and the previous datacenter.
I think that you should be able to do it even with running VMs but if you
want to be on the safest side I suggest to manually shutdown all the VMs
before the migration.
