2:09 p.m.
I am currently running oVirt 3.6 on a physical server using hosted
engine environment. I have one server since it's a lab setup. The
storage is on a Synology 3615xs iSCSI LUN so that's where the vms are.
I plan to upgrade to 4.1 and need to check to make sure I understand the
procedure. I've read the oVirt 4.1 Release Notes and they leave some
questions.
First they say I can simply install the 4.1 release repo update all the
ovirt-*-setup* and then run engine-setup.
1. I assume this is on the engine VM running on the host physical box.
2. What does engine-setup do. Does it know what I have and simply
update or do I have to go through setup again.
3. Then do I go to the host and update all the ovirt stuff?
However, they then say for oVirt Hosted Engine follow a link for
upgrading which takes me to a Not Found :( page but did have a link back
to the release notes which link to the Not Found which.... So what do I
need to know about upgrading a hosted engine setup that there are no
directions for. Are there some gotchas? I thought that the release
notes said I just had to upgrade the engine and then the host.
Given that my VMs are on iSCSI what happens if things go bad and I have
to start from scratch. Can I import the VMs created under 3.6 into 4.1
or do I have to do something else like copy them somewhere for backup.
Any other hints and tips are appreciated.
Thanks.

Before upgrade make shure that epel is disabled, there are some conflicts
in collectd package.

You don’t have to setup from scratch.

@ovirt, can this be fixed ? It’s quite annoying indeed.

It might be good to shutdown the VMs and do an export if you have a

In any case, during the upgrade, since the host is in maintenance, all VMs
have to be OFF.
Any other hints and tips are appreciated.
Don’t have iSCSI so can’t help much with that.
I’m just a regular user who failed many times :)
