<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hello,<br><br></div>Last week I upgraded to 3.5 and on the engine side everything went absolutely fine. Now I'm wondering what to do about my hosts (full CentOS 6 installs). Is the upgrade something the engine takes care of when I set the compatibility version to 3.5? Or should I install the ovirt-release35 rpm and run yum update on all hosts?<br><br></div>Should I expect impact on running VM's, eg. from restarting vdsm?<br><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 20 October 2014 08:48, Sandro Bonazzola <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sbonazzo@redhat.com" target="_blank">sbonazzo@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Il 19/10/2014 16:53, Daniel Helgenberger ha scritto:<br>
