Updating oVirt engine and nodes
Hi all, I use oVirt at home for small tasks and some server VM for my needs. I am planning on updating from 4.4 to 4.5 and I found through the list I don't need to install all from ground every time I have to update. I did that when I got 4.4 from 4.3. I tried to follow the update info from ovirt site (https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html) and I got stuck on: # dnf install -y centos-release-ovirt45 I use Rocky Linux 8.6 for the engine and that command line doesn't work here: [root@rocky-engine ~]# dnf install -y rocky-release-ovirt45 Last metadata expiration check: 3:28:13 ago on Fri 20 May 2022 11:02:26 AM -03. No match for argument: rocky-release-ovirt45 Error: Unable to find a match: rocky-release-ovirt45 [root@rocky-engine ~]# I know not much on yum knowledge. Is there a howto on upgrading? My engine runs out of the ovirt host and I have just one host so far. I run rocky 8.6 on the engine and centos stream 8 on host. Thanks in advance, matheus -- "We will call you Cygnus, the God of balance you shall be."

That was only required from 4.3 to 4.4 because it's not possible to do an in-place upgrdae of the underlying OS from EL7 -> EL8.

I use Rocky Linux 8.6 for the engine and that command line doesn't work here:

It doesn't work because the command in the documentation is correct for all Enterprise Linux variants: # dnf install -y centos-release-ovirt45 If that doesn't work, then you missed the "If you are going to install on RHEL or derivatives please follow Installing on RHEL or derivatives first." warning which links you to https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html In that step, you add a couple of repos from CentOS Stream. This is where the centos-ovirt-release45 package comes from, as well as some other repos containing oVirt dependencies.
