Re: [ovirt-users] the better way to update vdsm

Hello Nathanaël, I think the supposed way to upgrade would be: * (hosted-engine only) put cluster in global maintenance if running hosted-enfgine * upgrade Engine using engine-setup (this *should* detect product updates) * (hosted-engine only) disable global maintenance * Put host in maintenance mode (witch will migrate VMs automatically) * Click 'reinstall host' in Engine (this step will will invoke yum update?) * Activate host continue with the other hosts If there are kernel updates, I usually update them as well in the process (involving manual yum). Can anyone clarify if 'reinstall host' invokes yum? Thanks! On 24.09.2014 11:41, Nathanaël Blanchet wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm about to update to 3.4.4 with the associated vdsm.
