Is there a command I can run on the engine to retrieve the engine's version number?
Nothing official, AFAIK. Depending on context, one of these might be helpful: # rpm -q ovirt-engine # /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/engine-psql.sh -c "select option_value from vdc_options where option_name = 'ProductRPMVersion'" If you want to use the API/SDK, please see: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/product_info https://github.com/oVirt/python-ovirt-engine-sdk4/blob/main/examples/show_su...
I ask because I am writing a bash script to automatically backup the engine database via the 'engine-backup' command and would like to include the engine's current version number with the backup.
That's already the case, see files 'version' and 'os_version' inside the generated archive. For sh/bash scripts, another (non-official?) way is: . /usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin/engine-prolog.sh # echo $DISPLAY_VERSION $PACKAGE_DISPLAY_VERSION $PACKAGE_VERSION engine-backup uses $PACKAGE_VERSION (slightly differently than above).

On a related side-note, it would be nice if future versions of 'engine-backup' included the engine's version number in the log file that 'engine-backup' outputs.
You are welcome to file an RFE bug for this, and/or push a patch to do this - should be rather simple. Thanks. Best regards, -- Didi
