Re: [Users] Wondering about updating ovirt from 3.0 to 3.1

So what is the answer we have to blow away our installations? What? That sounds like an awful way to upgrade.

Now all you have to do is preserve that export domain storage. Everything else should be blown away and rebuilt as a completely new install. Then you import that storage domain you saved and restore the VM's. It worked just fine for me. But this requires that my entire Production Environment being off-line, to do a point update of the oVirt from 3.0 to 3.1..... oVirt Nodes can run without a Manager being present and all Guest will stay Up and running. What if, Taking the whole environment off line, is not an option... - From a DR point of view, oVirt needs a Backup solution to backup the Manager, and more importantly a Restore Option that would mean you can bring an oVirt Manager Back online without the whole lot being off-line. __________________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org> [users-bounces(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org>] on behalf of Gavin Spurgeon [gspurgeon(a)dageek.co.uk <mailto:gspurgeon@dageek.co.uk>] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 11:35 AM To: users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org> Cc: Dale Macartney Subject: Re: [Users] Wondering about updating ovirt from 3.0 to 3.1 Hi All, I know I am not the 1st to ask, and I know I will not be the last.... I have oVirt3.0 on F16, The Release Notes for 3.1 give a guide on how to upgrade oVirt to 3.1 via a Fedora Upgrade... Can I do the same thing via a Clean Install of F17 (I do not like Upgrades of OS's) ? Or is there a documented DR procedure assuming the host was backed up and a new Host/OS had to be used to get oVirt back on-line ? Basically, What do I need to backup to then bring down the F16/oVirt3.0 Box and replace it with a F17/oVirt3.1 Box ?
