unable to upgrade engine to 4.4.10 from 4.4.8
I am unable to upgrade my hosted engine from version 4.4.8 to 4.4.10. I suspect the problem is because of the obsolescence of CentOS Linux 8. DNF gives me the following error: CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist This is the list of repositories on my engine: appstream CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream baseos CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS extras CentOS Linux 8 - Extras ovirt-4.4 Latest oVirt 4.4 Release ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization Advanced Virtualization packages for x86_64 ovirt-4.4-centos-ceph-pacific Ceph packages for x86_64 ovirt-4.4-centos-gluster8 CentOS-8 - Gluster 8 ovirt-4.4-centos-nfv-openvswitch CentOS-8 - NFV OpenvSwitch ovirt-4.4-centos-opstools CentOS-8 - OpsTools - collectd ovirt-4.4-centos-ovirt44 CentOS-8 - oVirt 4.4 ovirt-4.4-copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:sac:gluster-ansible Copr repo for gluster-ansible owned by sac ovirt-4.4-copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:sbonazzo:EL8_collection Copr repo for EL8_collection owned by sbonazzo ovirt-4.4-epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 ovirt-4.4-openstack-victoria OpenStack Victoria Repository ovirt-4.4-virtio-win-latest virtio-win builds roughly matching what will be shipped in upcoming RHEL powertools CentOS Linux 8 - PowerTools Your guidance on how to proceed is much appreciated. Thanks.
Redownload the latest 4.4 release rpm and install it on the hosts. That should fix your mirrorlists. Do be aware that there is an ongoing issue with postgresql-jdbc and that you'll need to exclude it from the upgrade process with "dnf update -x postgresql-jdbc" otherwise the engine will fail to start. You'll also need to exclude ansible-core if you are running centos- stream. Also, "oVirt 4.4.x is EOL. Please upgrade to oVirt 4.5 as soon as practical." -Patrick Hibbs On Wed, 2022-04-27 at 22:24 +0000, Diggy Mc wrote:

I would add, as you are on CentOS Linux 8, I would recommend switching it either to some other RHEL clone (Alma, Rocky,...) or to CentOS Stream as a first step.

Hi, I have same issue. Partially I fixed it with conversion to CentOS Stream. rm -rf /var/cache/dnf cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-* sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-* sudo dnf install --disablerepo='*' https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm dnf distro-sync —nobest It install latest oVirt Engine 4.4.10.2, yet Web UI still shows 4.4.7.6. engine-setup fails with: [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream [ ERROR ] DNF Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment setup': Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist I don’t know if its safe to leave oVirt Engine in this half-upgraded condition or better to revert back to pristine 4.4.7.6. Anyone found solution to upgrade to 4.4.10.2 ? Thanks in advance.

That's kinda messed up. You did not need to change the mirrorlists for the base installation, as the current ovirt-release44.rpm fixes those for you. By doing what you did, you now have a base system trying to install most of it's packages from the CentOS vault, which is intermittent / slow with out- dated packages, and gaining no real benefit from it. I'd revert those changes, restore your repo files to their default versions, and install the current ovirt-release rpm. -Patrick Hibbs On Thu, 2022-04-28 at 16:25 +0300, Andrei Verovski wrote:

Hi, Is this correct order of actions: 1) download ovirt-release44.rpm 2) Remove all repos from /etc/yum.repos.d/ - because of outdated data 3) Install ovirt-release44.rpm, which does have all correct repos’ list inside.

The ovirt-release rpm only contains the repos for oVirt specific stuff. You've changed the repos for the CentOS base installation. (I.e. the "core" distribution repos.) To fix this, you need to: 1) Reinstall the centos-stream-repos package. 2) Run rpm --verify * and look for any .repo files under /etc/yum.repos.d/ in the output then search for the packages they came from and reinstall them with dnf reinstall <package name>. 3) Download and install ovirt-release44.rpm. -Patrick Hibbs On Thu, 2022-04-28 at 17:15 +0300, Andrei Verovski wrote:

No. The CentOS repos are controlled by the centos-stream-repos package, but I would not recommend installing that package on a non CentOS Stream system, as you would have conflicting packages and would most likely break your underlying system. -Patrick Hibbs On Thu, 2022-04-28 at 12:43 +0000, Diggy Mc wrote:

Redownload the latest 4.4 release rpm and install it on the hosts. That should fix your mirrorlists.
Patrick, I'm not sure how updating the hosts first would fix the mirrorlist/repositories on the hosted engine. The command I ran on the hosted engine, per the published instructions was: # dnf update ovirt\*setup\* which should update only the oVirt packages. Can/should I disable the broken CentOS Linux repositories and try again?
Sorry for the delay, my mail client missed this one. The ovirt-release<major><minor>.rpm package contains the ovirt-*.repo files which define the mirrorlists used to install / update oVirt's packages for that specific major and minor version of oVirt. The ovirt\*setup\* packages only contain the files needed to install / upgrade the engine itself. They do not have the .repo files needed to locate those packages. -Patrick Hibbs On Thu, 2022-04-28 at 12:41 +0000, Diggy Mc wrote:
