So what is the answer we have to blow away our installations?  What?  That sounds like an awful way to upgrade.

See the migration instructions at the bottom of the relese notes.
Basically you shut down all of your VMs, export them to your export
domain.  Now all you have to do is preserve that export domain
storage.  Everything else should be blown away and rebuilt as a
completely new install.  Then you import that storage domain you
saved and restore the VM's.  It worked just fine for me.

But this requires that my entire Production Environment being
off-line, to do a point update of the oVirt from 3.0 to 3.1.....

oVirt Nodes can run without a Manager being present and all Guest will
stay Up and running. What if, Taking the whole environment off line,
is not an option...

- From a DR point of view, oVirt needs a Backup solution to backup the
Manager, and more importantly a Restore Option that would mean you can
bring an oVirt Manager Back online without the whole lot being off-line.

[Users] Wondering about updating ovirt from 3.0 to 3.1


Hi All,

I know I am not the 1st to ask, and I know I will not be the
last....

I have oVirt3.0 on F16, The Release Notes for 3.1 give a guide on
how to upgrade oVirt to 3.1 via a Fedora Upgrade...

Can I do the same thing via a Clean Install of F17 (I do not like
Upgrades of OS's) ?

Or is there a documented DR procedure assuming the host was backed
up and a new Host/OS had to be used to get oVirt back on-line ?

Basically, What do I need to backup to then bring down the
F16/oVirt3.0 Box and replace it with a F17/oVirt3.1 Box ?

Is this Documented yet ?
