attempting to upgrade ovirt host which fails.

Hello, Today I began upgrading my ovirt 4.1 to 4.2 by updating the engine following the steps in the 4.2 readme. This went well and the upgrade completed. What I've run into is I have attempted to install the ovirt release 4.2 on the host and then ran a yum upgrade on it while in maintenance mode. I rebooted the system and can put the host into active mode but in the ovirt compute host screen is showing that updates are available. No mater what I do to tell it to check for updates it still shows available updates. If I install updates they fail. I see events like the following in the graphical interface. Check for available updates on host host1 was completed successfully with message 'found updates for packages ovirt-host'. Host host1 was switched to Maintenance mode Host host1 upgrade was started Failed to upgrade Host host1 How can I resolve this issue?

The failure should be reflected on the host in /var/log/vdsm/*vdsm.log What do you see there? HTH On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 11:09 PM, Edward Clay <edward.clay@uk2group.com> wrote:

Interesting, Looking in this log I see a large number of checks being done unrelated to updating the system. When I initiated the update process with the host in maintenance mode I would see just a couple of lines about start/finish repo checks being performed. That was it. After seeing that I checked the yum.conf and disabled the glusterfs* exclude I had placed in there previously and the upgrade process completed. Thought I had disabled that exclude already. It's always something simple in the end. Thanks for the help. On 05/22/2018 09:46 PM, Eitan Raviv wrote:
