So does Fedora 16 have an Ovirt 3.1 repo? It seems best way to do this correct me if I am wrong: 1. Uninstall 3.0 2. engine-cleanup do not drop database 3. Reinstall Good to go right? Will this mess with vm's already running etc. dk On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 11:26 AM, Robert Middleswarth < robert@middleswarth.net> wrote:

The un-test but the way that should work is. Uninstall oVirt 3.0 do not engine-clean Upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17. Add the beta repo's yum clean all Yum install ovirt-engine Run enginue-upgrade and follow it instructions Since I was stuck at the DMV all day I haven't had a change to test these instructions at all before doing these steps I would do a full backup of the DB and a snapshot of the system. If you can clone the system and do these steps on a clone even better. Thanks Robert

Has anyone else tested this? I just tried it on a test rig of F16 running 3.0, upgrading to 3.1 beta on F17. All the steps completed fine, except that I had to remove ovirt-engine-jbossas, which conflicted with the new, from Fedora, jboss-as, before installing ovirt-engine 3.1. After engine-upgrade completed, I wasn't able to access the engine. Jboss-as was stopped, as was httpd. Starting them up didn't make the engine accessible, though. I just got the default fedora pages for JBoss and for Apache. On my own oVirt setup, I moved from 3.0 to 3.1 by moving my VMs and templates to my export domain, detaching my export and iso domains, and installing 3.1 from scratch, before importing my iso and export domains and ferrying my VMs and templates over to my new data domain. What's the most sane upgrade advice we can offer to oVirt 3.0 users? Jason

Can someone please try this out and verify it works? I'd like to include this process in the release notes. Thanks, Steve

I've been testing this path today. I get all the way to step 5, running engine-setup, and the script fails out after asking for my existing db password. The script asks for my password, over and over (I tried entering it like 25 times) and keeps on asking until I hit enter with a blank password a couple of times, at which point it fails out. Jason

Also, I confirmed that I can access the db using the user "engine" and the same password I'm giving the script.

the "sane" upgrade path (nothing is sane in Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 upgrade): 1. run engine-cleanup, do not drop DB 2. remove all ovirt-engine rpms (including the JBoss one) - please not that this will remove the PKI, so you'll have to re-install your hosts 3. Do the fedora upgrade 4. install ovirt-engine rpms 5. run engine-setup - Give same passwords to the DB/admin user
in this case, engine-setup should upgrade the db, and not install it. we didn't tried this approach yet, so I'll appreciate any input.
Can someone please try this out and verify it works? I'd like to include this process in the release notes.
I've been testing this path today. I get all the way to step 5, running engine-setup, and the script fails out after asking for my existing db password. The script asks for my password, over and over (I tried entering it like 25 times) and keeps on asking until I hit enter with a blank password a couple of times, at which point it fails out.
Jason
Hi Jason,
Any chance you could upload the engine-setup log somewhere for us to take a look at?
Here it is: http://fpaste.org/m3rt/
looks like something is missing. do you still have the .pgpass file under /root?
I see in the log:
sent too early. in the log I can see: 2012-07-24 21:44:44::DEBUG::common_utils::286::root:: cmd = /usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/upgrade.sh -u engine -d engine_2012_07_24_21_44_44 -s localhost -p 5432 2012-07-24 21:45:54::DEBUG::common_utils::291::root:: output = upgrade script detected a change in Config, View or Stored Procedure...

Jason
Thanks,

TOP POSTING, as I got this question number of times: oVirt 3.0 was the first release of the oVirt project. It was based on Fedora16, and a special JBoss package (ovirt-engine-jbossas) which we created as a temporary solution until JBoss will get into Fedora. 3.1 is Fedora 17 based, and supports the official JBoss. Due to those huge changes (packaging wise mainly), our upgrade path is non-trivial. Actually, even if we didn't have the (huge) packaging changes, 3.0 to 3.1 upgrade would require a big amount of downtime, due to the need to upgrade you base OS (Fedora 16 to 17). As we mentioned in the release notes, we have two options to do the upgrade: 1. RECOMMENDED - Export all templates ans vms and import them into a new setup - Downtime depends on the total size of VMs + Templates 2. NOT RECOMMENDED - Follow http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/OVirt_3.0_to_3.1_upgrade - Downtime depends on the F16 -> 17 upgrade + few manual steps I understand both flows are not perfect, but we had to do those changes. As a result, future upgrades should be much faster. Thanks, Ofer ----- Original Message -----

See the migration instructions at the bottom of the relese notes. Basically you shut down all of your VMs, export them to your export domain. Now all you have to do is preserve that export domain storage. Everything else should be blown away and rebuilt as a completely new install. Then you import that storage domain you saved and restore the VM's. It worked just fine for me.
But this requires that my entire Production Environment being off-line, to do a point update of the oVirt from 3.0 to 3.1.....
oVirt Nodes can run without a Manager being present and all Guest will stay Up and running. What if, Taking the whole environment off line, is not an option...
- From a DR point of view, oVirt needs a Backup solution to backup the Manager, and more importantly a Restore Option that would mean you can bring an oVirt Manager Back online without the whole lot being off-line.

Hi All,
I know I am not the 1st to ask, and I know I will not be the last....
I have oVirt3.0 on F16, The Release Notes for 3.1 give a guide on how to upgrade oVirt to 3.1 via a Fedora Upgrade...
Can I do the same thing via a Clean Install of F17 (I do not like Upgrades of OS's) ?
Or is there a documented DR procedure assuming the host was backed up and a new Host/OS had to be used to get oVirt back on-line ?
Basically, What do I need to backup to then bring down the F16/oVirt3.0 Box and replace it with a F17/oVirt3.1 Box ?
Is this Documented yet ?
