[ovirt-users] 4.3 won't upgrade engine in standalone KVM VM: low_custom_compatibility_version 'agent03'

Hi, I am running 4.2 engine in a standalone libvirt KVM VM (running on a hypervisor that is not part of the oVirt infrastructure); i.e., I am not using hosted engine but still running engine in a VM. Now 4.3 won't upgrade inside this libvirt KVM VM: Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Cannot upgrade the Engine due to low custom_compatibility_version for virtual machines: ['agent03']. Please edit this virtual machines, in edit VM dialog go to System->Advanced Parameters -> Custom Compatibility Version and either reset to empty (cluster default) or set a value supported by the new installation: 4.1, 4.2, 4.3. engine-setup has probably detected that it is running inside a VM: 1. Where did it get 'agent03' string from 2. Any suggestions how to fool engine-setup to think this is 4.3 Here is the dmidecode of the standalone engine VM: # dmidecode 3.1 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
