Re: [ovirt-users] memory leak in 3.5.6 - not vdsm

Sandro / Nir - I followed your steps plus http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.6_Release_Notes#Fedora_.2F_CentOS_.2F_RHEL Engine upgraded fine but then when I got to upgrading a node I did: $ yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm $ yum update -y And then rebooted the node. I noticed libvirt was updated by a .1 release number but vdsm (where the memory leak issue I thought was?) was not upgraded. In fact, very little of ovirt packages on the node were noticeably not updated

Updated node received the following updated packages during the install: http://pastebin.ca/3362714 Note specifically the only packages updated via the ovirt3.6 repository was ioprocess, otopi, ovirt-engine-sdk-python, ovirt-host-deploy, ovirt-release36, and python-ioprocess. I had expected to see some packages like vdsm and the likes updated - or was this not the case? Upgraded node: [compute[root@node02 yum.repos.d]$ rpm -qa | grep -i vdsm vdsm-4.16.30-0.el6.x86_64 vdsm-python-zombiereaper-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-cli-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-yajsonrpc-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-jsonrpc-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-xmlrpc-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-python-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch Nonupgraded node [compute[root@node01 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i vdsm vdsm-cli-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-jsonrpc-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-python-zombiereaper-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-xmlrpc-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-yajsonrpc-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch vdsm-4.16.30-0.el6.x86_64 vdsm-python-4.16.30-0.el6.noarch Also, the docs stated that the engine VM would migrate to the freshly upgraded node since it would have a higher number but it did not So I cant really confirm whether or not my issue will be resolved? Or that if the node was actually updated properly? Please advise on how to confirm Thank you! On Sat, Jan 23, 2016 at 12:55 AM, Charles Kozler <charles(a)fixflyer.com&gt; wrote: > Thanks Sandro.
