Hey Colin -

You're correct -- they will persist. However, there's only a plugin for yum, and not bare RPM. If the packages were installed with "rpm -Uvh ...", they won't be 'sticky'. I believe this is also part of the documentation.

If you don't remember whether you used yum or not, you can check /var/imgbased/persisted-rpms/ to see if anything is present.

Hi all

We're running RHV 4.1.6. Yesterday I upgraded the RHV-H nodes in our DEV environment to 20180102 and found that all the non-RHEL RPMs are now gone. Their associated config files in /etc are still there. The RPMs in question were from HPE SPP plus a monitoring system client (Xymon).

I had thought that non-RHEL RPMs would persist after a host upgrade.

Am I wrong on this?

Thanks

CC
