Subject: Upgrade 4.2.6 to 4.3.x
Hi,
I am trying to follow the documentation for the ovirt-engine upgrade
(
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/appe-Upgrading_to_oVirt...)
but unable to find the package. Could anyone please help on this?
#################
No package ovirt-fast-forward-upgrade available.
Error: Nothing to do
#################
FYI: ovirt engine is running on CentOS Linux 7 (Core)
I am pretty certain that this is a bug in the documentation - that it was
automatically converted from RHV docs, which include this content, and
whoever did that didn't notice that this section should be removed.
ovirt-fast-forward-upgrade was never released as part of oVirt.
The original RFE bug to create it is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1366900
You are welcome to go and read the entire discussion there.
It currently works only on RHV.
It should probably not be too hard to adapt it to work also on oVirt,
but no-one volunteered to work on this. It's an open-source project,
patches are welcome :-)
Personally, I do not think it's that useful. All this tool does it what the
documentation already tells you to do manually - Add repos, Update and run
Setup, yum update, repeat from current installed to latest released version.
I personally only do this manually anyway, even on the RHV installations I
use for development.
There is a slight complication with RHV compared to oVirt - it's slightly
more work to add handle repos (you have to make sure your system is
registered and update the channels). In oVirt that's just installing a
single release rpm. I guess this was the main reason that people wanted
this tool for RHV.
Best regards,
