ovirt 4.2.7 -> 4.3.0 upgrade process

Hello Can anyone confirm that the steps for upgrading to 4.3 from 4.2 are the same as listed for previous versions? I reviewed 4.1 to 4.2 which looks straight forward: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Upgrading_from_4.1_to... I am sure nothing will go wrong though we are doing daily backups of the hosted engine VM database. Thanks, Douglas Duckworth, MSc, LFCS HPC System Administrator Scientific Computing Unit<https://scu.med.cornell.edu> Weill Cornell Medicine 1300 York Avenue New York, NY 10065 E: doug@med.cornell.edu<mailto:doug@med.cornell.edu> O: 212-746-6305 F: 212-746-8690

Hi, yeah the upgrade is using the same steps. And actually should be working without any problems. -- Petr Matyas | RHEVM System QE pmatyas@redhat.com pmatyas @ #brno, #rhev-qe On 2/6/19 5:26 PM, Douglas Duckworth wrote:

Hi, We're working on getting a guide out as soon as possible, but I don't have an ETA yet. On Wed, Feb 6, 2019 at 11:29 AM Douglas Duckworth <dod2014@med.cornell.edu> wrote:

Basically. Do you use metrics? That's using rsyslog now. Also, if you have AMD hosts, there are some things there. That's all I know of. Greg

The deprecated CPUs (cpus variable, that entire list) https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/95310/7/frontend/webadmin/modules/webadmin/src/... So, *-IBRS, Epyc IBPB, Conroe, Penryn, and Opteron G1-3. If you have those, you need to change it to a supported type before upgrading or the cluster will remain non-operational.

Just did it yesterday, following https://www.ovirt.org/release/4.3.0/#centos--rhel Only very minor problem was the duplicated dashboard icon which has already been discussed in this mailing list. But please note that my setup may be different from yours. Best regards, On 6/2/19 17:26, Douglas Duckworth wrote:

If you are on 4.2.7 I would recommend upgrade the engine to 4.2.8 before upgrading to 4.3. Since in 4.3 we switched from fluentd to rsyslog for the metrics part, with 4.2.7 you may have some issue if you upgrade hosts to 4.3 before the engine gets upgraded.
