Q: oVirt Node Update Wiped my Updates
Hi ! I have updated today oVirt node 4.1 via yum, installed from oVirt DVD. Update was a minor version change. Now all software I had installed, including mc, Samba, etc. have been lost. Looks like oVirt node is being updated with whole system 600MB image, not just with rpms (please correct if I'm wrong here). Keeping my manually installed software is crucial, since it has UPS and hardware RAID monitor. Can anyone suggest if this is normal behavior or a single glitch ? So far I found only this instruction for node installation: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/install-guide/chap-oVirt_Nodes/ And it uses pre-made DVD ISO, not manual install with RHEL/CentOS DVD and RPMs from yum repository. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). Andrei
ovirt node is a small minimal os and will wipe your manually installed packages on an upgrade. If you want local packages that are critical for you you should install full centos/rhev server and use that as a virtualization node. (This is what i did since i wanted more control of the virtulization nodes) /Johan On Tue, 2017-12-19 at 01:54 +0200, Andrei V wrote:

The differences are here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/install-guide/chap-Introduction_to_ Hypervisor_Hosts/ And also the different guides on how to install them. /Johan On Tue, 2017-12-19 at 01:06 +0100, Johan Bernhardsson wrote:

Now it has also RPM persistence designed as a mechanism by which packages installed through yum/dnf can be saved and automatically re-applied when the OS is updated. https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/node/node-next-per...
