Quick question. My engine is currently running 4.3.6. My host is still at 4.1.x. I was planning (this weekend) to just yum upgrade the host system to bring it up to 4.3.x.
Is it okay for the host to be at 4.3.8 while the engine is still at 4.3.6? Or must I upgrade the engine to 4.3.8 first?
I would recommend to upgrade engine first, but host upgrade should work fine being engine already at 4.3.
Good to know. I'll see if I can find the time to upgrade the engine first.
I would recommend to use the engine for upgrading the hosts. It can use the cluster upgrade ansible role ( https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-cluster-upgrade/blob/master/README.md) and save you some time.
Can't do that -- this is a single-host self-hosted system, so there is no where to migrate the engine. So everything needs to be done manually. At least that is my understanding. And since this is a production system I'd rather spend more time and have it work than trying something and having it fail mid-way. As I'm already planning significant downtime to move the machines to a new location and re-rack them, the additional time to "yum upgrade" shouldn't be a problem. :) -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
