I repeated the same upgrade steps to another cluster and although I was receiving same warnings about the db the upgrade completed successfully. 

Is there a way I can manually inform engine db about the maintenance status? I was thinking that in this way the engine would proceed with the remaining steps.

Hi all,

I have a self hosted engine setup, with 3 servers. 

I have successfully upgraded several other installations, from 4.1 to 4.2.

On one of them I am encountering and issue with the engine-setup.

I get the following warning:

  Found the following problems in PostgreSQL configuration for the Engine database:
           It is required to be at least '8192'
         
          Please note the following required changes in postgresql.conf on 'localhost':
            'work_mem' is currently '1024'. It is required to be at least '8192'.
          postgresql.conf is usually in /var/lib/pgsql/data, /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql95/lib/pgsql/data, or somewhere under /etc/postgresql* . You have to restart PostgreSQL after making these changes.
          The database requires these configurations values to be changed. Setup can fix them for you or abort. Fix automatically? (Yes, No) [Yes]:

Then, if I select Yes to proceed, I get:

[WARNING] This release requires PostgreSQL server 9.5.14 but the engine database is currently hosted on PostgreSQL server 9.2.24.

Then finally:

[ ERROR ] It seems that you are running your engine inside of the hosted-engine VM and are not in "Global Maintenance" mode.
         In that case you should put the system into the "Global Maintenance" mode before running engine-setup, or the hosted-engine HA agent might kill the machine, which might corrupt your data.
         
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Hosted Engine setup detected, but Global Maintenance is not set.

I have put the cluster on global maintenance, though the engine thinks it is not.

Are any steps that I may follow to avoid above?

I am attaching also the last full setup log.

Thank you!
