Hello, I have an environment with 3 hosts and gluster HCI on 4.1.3. I'm following this link to take it to 4.1.7 https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#upgrade-hosted-eng... The hosts and engine were at 7.3 prior of beginning the update. All went ok for the engine that now is on 7.4 (not rebooted yet) Points 4. 5. 6. for the first updated host were substituted by rebooting it I'm at point: 7. Exit the global maintenance mode: in a few minutes the engine VM should migrate to the fresh upgraded host cause it will get an higher score One note: actually exiting from global maintenance doesn't imply that the host previously put into maintenance exiting from it, correct? So in my workflow, before point 7., actually I have selected the host and activated it. Currently the situation is this - engine running on ovirt02 - update happened on ovirt03 Then after exiting from global maintenance I don't see the engine vm migrating to it. And in fact (see below) the score of ovirt02 is the same (3400) as the one of ovirt03, so it seems it is correct that engine remains there...? Which kind of messages should I see inside logs of engine/hosts?
