My nodes run on natively installed CentOS, not factory oVirt node images, because of
necessary RAID drivers and custom scripts (for example, in case of power failure which is
over 5 min they loop through all running VMS and shutdown them gracefully, then shutdown
node itself, + RAID monitoring script which sends notifications on Telegram messenger).
This seem to be my case. Anyone from oVirt team can confirm? Thanks.

Hi,
OK, thanks for the tip.
I always upgraded nodes via oVirt web interface, which is now 4.4.7, and I assume it
can't update node 4.2 -> 4.3, because 4.3 is too old. Please correct if I'm
wrong here.
May I use these commands to safely upgrade nodes manually?
yum check-update
yum clean all
yum update
yum remove ovirt-release42
yum install
