That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks all.
I'll schedule a script for the nodes to reboot and patch once every week or two and then I can let it run without me needing to worry about it.
Is this shell or python script with connection to oVirt engine? My 4.2 node don't shutdown properly until I'm shutdown all VMs take it into maintenance mode manually. Shutdown process freezes at certain point.

Hi,
the hosts are almost stateless and we set up most of what is needed during activation. Hosted engine has some configuration stored locally, but that is just the path to the storage domain.
I think you should be fine unless you change the network topology significantly. I would also install security updates once in while.
We can even shut down the hosts for you when you configure two cluster scheduling properties: EnableAutomaticPM and HostsInReserve. HostsInReserve should be at least 1 though. It behaves like this, as long as the reserve host is empty, we shut down all the other empty hosts. And we boot another host once a VM does not fit on other used hosts and is places on the running reserve host. That would save you the power of just one host, but it would still be highly available (if hosted engine and storage allows that too).
Bear in mind that single host cluster is not highly available at all.
Best regards

Thanks, that answers my follow up question! :)
My concern is that I could have a host off-line for a month say, is that going to cause any issues?
Thanks,

I think that if in the mean time you don't make any configuration changes and you don't update anything, there is no reason to have problems. In case of changes done, it could depend on what they are: are you
