I'll try the --force-setup today if I get a chance, in a worst case scenario what could go wrong? When I run the upgrade will it create a DB backup that can be manually restored if I have to remove all ovirt-engine packages and start from scratch? Anyone have some steps on how to go about restoring from the backup that the "engine-upgrade --force-setup" creates? Currently I'm running a two node/hypervisor setup with a SAN as my data storage, but I can't migrate VM's between the nodes due to what appears to be a bug, which is the reason for wanting to update the ovirt-engine. As previously mentioned my engine is installed directly on one of the nodes/hypervisors.

Would it perhaps be a better idea to install a new ovirt-engine onto a different server and then migrate to the new engine rather than updating the current one, or am I just being completely paranoid? We are running mission critical VM's on the install, so I can't risk something going wrong and the VM's stop running or access to them is lost.

Thank you very much. Regards. Neil Wilson _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
