Update hosted engine to 4.3.8 from 4.3.7 questions
I'd like to update my hosted engine to version 4.3.8 from 4.3.7, but have concerns. First, on the hosted engine, yum reports that several packages are version locked. Specifically: 0:ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-dwh-4.3.8-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-tools-backup-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-restapi-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-dbscripts-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-backend-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* 0:ovirt-engine-tools-4.3.8.2-1.el7.* Is this normal and is it okay to proceed with the update? If it is not normal, what can I do to correct the problem? Also, what is the correct procedure to update the engine? Although I tried to read the documentation, I have encountered conflicting documents so I must ask. Sorry. This is how I understand it, but am not confident that it is correct: 1. Enable Global HA Maintenance mode. 2. On the engine, run # yum update ovirt* 3. On the engine, run # engine-setup 4. On the engine, run # yum update 4. Reboot the hosted engine. Is "systemctl reboot" acceptable or do I have to do a "hosted-engine --vm-restart" from a host? 5. Disable Global HA Maintenance mode. Your expert guidance is much appreciated.

Version lock is normal, but don't directly use yum. The correct peocedure should be: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Upgrading_from_4.1_to... Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

As Strahil wrote below, this is normal.
Also, what is the correct procedure to update the engine? Although I tried to read the documentation, I have encountered conflicting documents so I must ask. Sorry.
Which conflicting documents? You might want to open a github issue on the documentation. PRs are also most welcome :-) https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site
This is how I understand it, but am not confident that it is correct: 1. Enable Global HA Maintenance mode. 2. On the engine, run # yum update ovirt*
This should work. The docs say "yum update ovirt\*setup\*", which is "guaranteed" to succeed. "Guaranteed" means that if it fails due to some conflict, it's considered a bug. If "yum update ovirt*" fails due to a conflict, it's considered ok (but if it's easy to fix, we'll still likely fix).
3. On the engine, run # engine-setup 4. On the engine, run # yum update 4. Reboot the hosted engine. Is "systemctl reboot" acceptable or do I have to do a "hosted-engine --vm-restart" from a host?
Where did you find "--vm-restart"? I do not think we ever had such an option. You should use 'hosted-engine --vm-shutdown', and after it's down, as you can verify with 'hosted-engine --vm-status' (and ps auxww | grep qemu), start it with 'hosted-engine --vm-start'. If you 'reboot' from within the VM, that is just fine as well, but the vm will remain down until you manually start it (this is by design, when in global maintenance mode). As always, if this is a production setup, and especially since it seems like this is your first upgrade, I recommend to practice first on a test setup (can be on nested-kvm VMs as hosts, no need for physical machines for this). Best regards,
5. Disable Global HA Maintenance mode.
