Upgrading HE and hosts; 4.1 to 4.2.4

It looks like there are several different pages describing the update process and I’m not sure which ones in particular apply in this case. I’ve got a cluster with 6 hosts, 3 of which can run the hosted engine. Would this be the correct procedure? https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#upgrade-hosted-eng... <https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine/#upgrade-hosted-engine> And for Step 2 in that procedure, would this cover it? # yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release42.rpm <http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release42.rpm> # yum update “ovirt-*-setup*” # engine-setup And for Step 4 in that procedure, can that be done in the GUI alone or does yum need to be run from the CLI? Thanks

Here is the steps I follow: First make sure you backup your hosted engine...then proceed as below: on hosted engine console # yum update -y put host in global maintenance # hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global run engine-setup on hosted engine reboot hosted engine # hosted-engine --vm-status # hosted-engine --vm-start turn off global maintenance # hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none put each physical host (one at a time) in maintenance upgrade physical host reboot (maybe) # hosted-engine --vm-status

Does that get me from 4.1 to 4.2 though? What about adding the 4.2 repositories?

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. However, it’s still not clear to me the exact steps for this. I’ve tried to follow the documentation and I can’t tell what’s specific to 3.x to 4.x, what’s specific to minor upgrades, etc.. It seems there’s a lot of old documentation that might not be applicable anymore. I understand the nature of open source and appreciate the efforts of all involved, but it seems like this process should be well documented. Has anyone done this and documented the steps required? Thanks
