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. :)
