[Users] Upgrade 3.1 to 3.2
Hi guys, Does anyone have any successful upgrades from 3.1 to 3.2 using Centos 6.3 and the Dreyou repos? I'm using ovirt 3.1 on our own production systems and would like to know the recommended upgrade methods/paths. I don't see much in the way of upgrade paths for any distributions for that matter. I've done quite a lot of googling and can't find much, also checked on the ovirt website for any possible guides or methods without much success. Thanks in advance. Regards. Neil Wilson.

Thanks Alexandr, I hadn't seen that one. Will go through it. Thank you very much! On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Alexandr <shuriku@shurik.kiev.ua> wrote:

I'm also overdue to test this, so stay tuned :) .. I've heard from a different Alex :) that the engine / db got really messed up when he tried, so best to do a backup of everything before attempting a upgrade ! Alex On 7 March 2013 09:04, Neil <nwilson123@gmail.com> wrote:

Hmmm, http://wiki.dreyou.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ovirt_rpm_update31to32says that we'd have to put the host into Maintenance mode before upgrade, is it not possible to run a live upgrade ? I don't have enough spare hardware to move VMs to for the upgrade of the Hyper-Visors (Ovirt nodes), the VMs cannot be stopped during the day either, we run multiple environments on them by now and are critical for development work. Anyone a idea of how to get onto 3.2 w/o having to stop the VMs ? If there is now way, fair enoug (i guess), and we'll have to look at alternative temporary hardware & disk before upgrading, however, it'd be really great if someone found a way ?

Hi Alex, I thought I'd report back to let you know my upgrade went smoothly to 3.2. I did put my entire cluster and hosts into maintenance mode though, so it probably won't suit you. I used the same guide(http://wiki.dreyou.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ovirt_rpm_update31to32) , but it has kindly been updated by Andrey with a little additional info and the repo itself has been updated. Thanks for your assistance, all the best to you for your upgrade. Regards. Neil Wilson. On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Alex Leonhardt <alex.tuxx@gmail.com> wrote:

upgrading the engine shouldn't require stopping the hosts/VMs. for upgrading a host it is recommended to move the host to maintenance first.

Thanks all, So I will need to either have a maint window for this (stop all VMs, etc.) or have a "spare" machine with 96 GB memory :) ... well, we'll see ... i think only real option at the moment is to stop the VMs to do this ...
