[ovirt-users] Re: Upgrade hyperconverged self-hosted ovirt from 4.3 to 4.4

Hi, I today tested the steps. Actually it worked but I needed to add a few things. 0. Gluster snapshots on all volumes I did not need that. 1. Set a node in maintenance 2. Create a full backup of the engine 3. Set global maintenance and power off the current engine 4. Backup all gluster config files Backup /etc/glusterfs/ /var/lib/glusterd /etc/fstab and the directories in /gluster_bricks 5. Reinstall the node that was set to maintnenance (step 2) 6. Install glusterfs, restore the configs from step 4 Modify the /etc/fstab, create directories in /gluster_bricks, mount the bricks I had to remove the lvm_filter to scan the logical volume group used for the bricks. 7. Restart glusterd and check that all bricks are up I had to force the volumes to start 8. Wait for healing to end 9. Deploy the new HE on a new Gluster Volume, using the backup/restore procedure for HE I could create a new gluster volume in the existing thin pool. During the deployment I specified the gluster volume: station1:/engine-new I used the options backvolfile-server=station2:station3 10.Add the other nodes from the oVirt cluster Actually I did not need to add the nodes. They were directly available in the engine. 11.Set EL7-based hosts to maintenance and power off My setup is based on ovirt Nodes. I put the first node in maintenance, created a backup of the gluster configuration and installed manually the ovirt-node 4.4. I reinstalled the gluster setup and waited for the gluster to heal. I then copied the ssh-key from a different node and reinstalled the node via the webinterface. I manually set the hosted-engine option to deploy during reinstallation. I repeated these steps for all hosts. 12. I put the old engine gluster domain in maintenance detached and remove the domain. Then I could remove the old storage volume as well. In the end I was running 4.4, migrations work.
