Hi All,
I have a setup of oVirt on 4.1 that has been working brilliantly for over a year, serving the production workloads at my dayjob without complaint.
Originally, I had set it up with a custom PostgreSQL version, 9.6, from the PGDG repositories, since the suggested 9.2 was already quite old, and it allowed me to keep consistent versions of PostgreSQL across all the infrastructure I have.
Now that I am trying to upgrade to oVirt 4.2, when I run engine-setup per the directions in the release notes documentation, engine-setup insists on PostgreSQL 9.5 from Software Collections, comparing the postgresql versions and then aborting.
I don't see a way to tell it that I have a different running version of PostgreSQL that's greater than 9.5 already.
Does this mean that no other versions than 9.5 are supported, and I need to downgrade and use the Software Collections version exclusively?
Or is there a custom setting that I am missing that will enable me to continue using the 9.6 install I already have.
Thank you for your time.
It's not supported out-of-the-box, but a simple workaround exists: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-March/087573.html We should probably document this somewhere more approachable... Best regards, -- Didi
