You guys scare me. Seriously.
I'm trying to update from oVirt 4.3 to 4.4 using a self-hosted engine. All VMs on the host are migrated off, other than the hosted engine, from the first host I intend to update to EL 8.4, per the documentation.
I installed the RPM from here: https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
I'm configuring the Engine following the upgrade document located here:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html#SHE_Upgrading_from_4-3
Step 6.4, after installing the oVirt 4.4 RPM on the engine:
engine-upgrade-check - I get this response:
Step 6.4 is where you update your self hosted engine to the latest 4.3.x version available. Not 4.4 yet.
So if you are still in 4.3.7, with step 6.4 you take it at 4.3.10, so that the backup you take in 4.3.10 (step 6.5) is tested and correctly restorable in 4.4.8 (better 4.4.8 than 4.4.7 you cited..)
If you are already at 4.3.10 level you can skip step 6.4.
HIH,
