Thanks all,

So I will need to either have a maint window for this (stop all VMs, etc.) or have a "spare" machine with 96 GB memory :) ... well, we'll see ... i think only real option at the moment is to stop the VMs to do this ...

Thanks!
Alex

says that we'd have to put the host into Maintenance mode before
upgrade, is it not possible to run a live upgrade ?

I don't have enough spare hardware to move VMs to for the upgrade of the
Hyper-Visors (Ovirt nodes), the VMs cannot be stopped during the day
either, we run multiple environments on them by now and are critical for
development work.

Anyone a idea of how to get onto 3.2 w/o having to stop the VMs ? If
there is now way, fair enoug (i guess), and we'll have to look at
alternative temporary hardware & disk before upgrading, however, it'd be
really great if someone found a way ?

upgrading the engine shouldn't require stopping the hosts/VMs.
for upgrading a host it is recommended to move the host to maintenance first.

    I'm also overdue to test this, so stay tuned :) .. I've heard from a
    different Alex :) that the engine / db got really messed up when he
    tried, so best to do a backup of everything before attempting a
    upgrade !
