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
