You guys scare me. Seriously. I'm trying to update from oVirt 4.3 to 4.4 using a self-hosted engine. All VMs on the host are migrated off, other than the hosted engine, from the first host I intend to update to EL 8.4, per the documentation. I installed the RPM from here: https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm I'm configuring the Engine following the upgrade document located here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html#SHE_Upgrading_f... Step 6.4, after installing the oVirt 4.4 RPM on the engine: engine-upgrade-check - I get this response: [root@labmanager yum.repos.d]# engine-upgrade-check VERB: queue package ovirt-engine-setup for update VERB: Downloading: ovirt-4.3-epel/x86_64/metalink (0%) VERB: Downloading: ovirt-4.3-epel/x86_64/metalink 10 k(100%) FAIL: Cannot queue package ovirt-engine-setup: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: ovirt-4.4/7 OK: Performing yum transaction rollback Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: ovirt-4.4/7 Doing a 'yum update' to just validate yum is working correctly, after installing the 44 RPM, I get this: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: ovirt-4.4/7 Any advice? Is the repo just not valid at the moment? Did someone forget to run a 'createrepo' after updating the YUM/DNF repo?

Here are the contents of the .repo file for 4.4 that was installed from the ovirt 4.4 RPM: [root@labmanager yum.repos.d]# cat ovirt-4.4.repo [ovirt-4.4] name=Latest oVirt 4.4 Release #baseurl=https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el$releasever/ mirrorlist=https://mirrorlist.ovirt.org/mirrorlist-ovirt-4.4-el$releasever enabled=1 countme=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-ovirt-4.4

Step 6.4, after installing the oVirt 4.4 RPM on the engine: engine-upgrade-check - I get this response:
Step 6.4 is where you update your self hosted engine to the latest 4.3.x version available. Not 4.4 yet. So if you are still in 4.3.7, with step 6.4 you take it at 4.3.10, so that the backup you take in 4.3.10 (step 6.5) is tested and correctly restorable in 4.4.8 (better 4.4.8 than 4.4.7 you cited..) If you are already at 4.3.10 level you can skip step 6.4. HIH, Gianluca
