by Lev Veyde
oVirt 4.4.6 Sixth Release Candidate is now available for testing
The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.6
Sixth Release Candidate for testing, as of April 29th, 2021.
This update is the sixth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4
series.
How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1
Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these
steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These
are only required to be done once.
Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> -
Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build
If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you
should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.6 you may get your
host entering emergency mode.
In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on
your hosts:
1.
Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode
(if rebooted).
2.
Reboot.
3.
Upgrade to 4.4.6 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.6).
4.
Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in
place.
5.
Only if not using oVirt Node:
- run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the
correct filter configuration
6.
Reboot.
