Hello Simon, i am new with oVirt, but are you sure, that this is the way for the self-hosted-engine? Because i have no commands with hosted-***. As far as i understand the engine runs in self-hosted-engine on same host and therefore there is no way to enter the vm with engine and set it to maintenance mode.?!

What I just tested on a lab environment of mine is this below Starting situation is single host with CentOS 7.2 and SH Engine on CentOS 7.2 deployed from appliance Version is 3.6.2. Both are updated up to 26/01/16 nad there are 3 VMs running - shutdown Vms - move host to global maintenance On host: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global - upgrade engine VM both from 3.6.2 to 3.6.3 and update its CentOS packages with: On SH Engine: yum update "ovirt-engine-setup*" yum update engine-setup - reboot engine VM and verify correct access to web admin gui You can verify its console status at this time with something like this run on host side: hosted-engine --add-console-password --password=mypwd /bin/remote-viewer vnc://localhost:5900 & NOTE: it seems that nc remote-viewer command doesn't survive the reboot... you have to reconnect - verify oVirt version is right and all is ok, eg starting a VM and accessing its console; then shutdown again the VM - move the host to local maintenance On host: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=local - update Host On engine VM: shutdown -h now NOTE: I think this step about engine VM shouldn't be necessary in case of multi host environment. Simply you should go host by host with these steps up to completing upgrade of your hosts.  On host: yum update reboot - Exit maintenance On host: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none - Verify engine VM starts and access to web admin gui is ok - Start your VMs and verify all is ok I have just done this and all is ok: all storage domains (ISO, NFS and hosted_storage) are up and able to start and manage VMs The only "problem" I have seeing is that in Hosts tab, the host is still marked for some minutes with a box and tip says "Update available". But then it goes away (no event regarding this on events pane... just wait)..

Are you talking about the all-in-one setup? Please list the ovirt packages on both the VM and the host.

Ah ok. So you previously installed an All-in-One setup following something like these instructions: http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/integration/alli... [2] But this feature is deprecated in 3.6 and it should be dropped in 4.0 And you want to migrate this single host installation to an hosted-engine one, that for a clean new install should be done with something like this: http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/ [3] In your case you have to migrate and follow something similar to this: http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/engine/migrate-to-hosted-eng... [4] but I think it is not so simple if you have at the end only one host to use.... You could export your VMs and the re-import them after migration and scratch of your hypevisor. What Joop suggested is the rpm command (adding a final "m" to rp) But I think that actually you are on All-in-one where the engine mgmt part is installed on the same machine that acts as the hypervisor. Try to read the migration doc I pointed out and see if you can adapt it to your environment (I don't know which 3.x version it is...)
