Hi Gianluca,

There is a bug in the documentation. Configuration of all oVirt engine extensions is included in 4.3 backup, these configuration files are properly restored and upgraded during engine-setup execution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1814212
So further action around extension configuration is needed.

Regards,
Martin

Hello,
I'm upgrading a standalone engine with local database and with 3 hosts from oVirt 4.3.10 to 4.4.2 and I'm cross checking both oVirt and RHV documents.
In my oVirt environment I have integration with AD for web admin access.

Inside RHV upgrade guide docs there is this statement regarding manager upgrade:
"
Install optional extension packages if they were installed on the Red Hat Virtualization Manager 4.3 machine.
# yum install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j
NOTE
The configuration for these package extensions must be manually reapplied
because they are not migrated as part of the backup and restore process.
"

In my case I had ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap and ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc installed on 4.3.10.
So after "engine-backup --mode=restore ...." command I executed:

[root@ovmgr1 ~]# yum install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc

and followed the next upgrade flow steps.
After finishing the engine upgrade with the "engine-setup" step, it seems actually that I can still connect to my engine with my AD accounts, so that I don't have to do any manual step described...

Does it match any one other experience?

Gianluca
