Hi all,
I'm about to update to 3.4.4 with the associated vdsm. Updating vdsm
with yum is trivial, but it usually breaks running vms on the host.
So these are the steps I follow each time:
* live migrating runnings vms to a another host in the cluster
* putting the host in maintenance
* updating vdsm
* activating the host
* getting back the vms
* and so on with the other hosts...
But sometimes it is not enough, I need to reinstall the host so as to
the host be able to successfully activate.
When getting back the vms on the initial host, I must do it manually to
load balance vms between the hosts and this is not very convinient.
So my question is : do I update in the right way, or is there any
recommendations that I didn't find anyway?
Thanks.
