Re: [ovirt-devel] ovirt 3.5 to 3.6 upgrade
by Paul Dyer
Here is a summary of my ovirt 3.5 to 3.6 upgrade. I am not using
hosted-engine. The engine machine is EL6.
after upgrade to ovirt 3.6, the ovirt-release35 repo remains on the manager
machine (non-hosted engine). There is also a list of rpms from the 3.5
repo.
Here is a list of 3.5 repo rpms still installed:
# yum list installed |grep ovirt-3.5
ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64 7.1.1-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5
patternfly1.noarch 1.3.0-1.el6
@ovirt-3.5-patternfly1-noarch-epel
python-daemon.noarch 1.5.2-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel
python-kitchen.noarch 1.1.1-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel
python-lockfile.noarch 0.8-3.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel
python-ply.noarch 3.4-4.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel
python-websockify.noarch 0.6.0-3.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel
xalan-j2.noarch 2.7.1-8.jbossorg_1.jpp6
@ovirt-3.5-jpackage-6.0-generic
======================================
I removed to 3.5 repo and release35 rpm, as described here. Then, I
re-installed the 3.5 rpms with the 3.6 rpms from the 3.6 repo. These rpms
did not change from 3.5 to 3.6. I just want them marked as from the 3.6
repo.
# yum remove ovirt-release35
# rm /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5*
# yum reinstall ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64 patternfly1.noarch
python-daemon.noarch python-kitchen.noarch python-lockfile.noarch
python-ply.noarch python-websockify.noarch xalan-j2.noarch
======================================
I also removed ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64, since I am not using
ovirt-engine-reports.
# yum remove ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64
======================================
Hope this document helps. I had loads of problems earlier, relating to
trying to use a EL6 virtualization host, when ovirt 3.6 did not support it.
Thanks, Paul
