ovirt 3.6 and Centos 6.x

Hi, Since 3.6 is somehow on the way, will there be support for Centos 6.x for engine and nodes? If not is there a defined process of migrating the engine into a new el7 host (not hosted-engine setup) I've seen this http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration Is it still up2date? node migration is no problem but there is room for problems in engine migration. regards, G

engine yes, nodes no. A 3.6 engine will be able to work with 3.5 nodes in 3.5 compatibility mode.

It says it's for 3.1, so it's not up2date... Sandro documented some time ago an upgrade from fedora 19 to 20, in [1]. Can't currently find something for el6->el7. You should definitely have a look at [1] if you intend to try - mainly do not forget upgrading postgresql's data. If you are looking at migration to a new machine, then I suppose that something based on backup/restore, similar to [2] but skipping the hosted-engine-specific parts, should work. Didn't try that myself. [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1131828 [2] http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine
node migration is no problem but there is room for problems in engine migration.
Indeed. Best, -- Didi

So a setup of el6 engine with el7 nodes in 3.6 compatibility mode will be available? Thanks for the rest info. G
