Upgrade oVirt from 4.3.10 to 4.4.2 and AD users
Hello, I'm upgrading a standalone engine with local database and with 3 hosts from oVirt 4.3.10 to 4.4.2 and I'm cross checking both oVirt and RHV documents. In my oVirt environment I have integration with AD for web admin access. Inside RHV upgrade guide docs there is this statement regarding manager upgrade: " Install optional extension packages if they were installed on the Red Hat Virtualization Manager 4.3 machine. # yum install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j NOTE The configuration for these package extensions must be manually reapplied because they are not migrated as part of the backup and restore process. " In my case I had ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap and ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc installed on 4.3.10. So after "engine-backup --mode=restore ...." command I executed: [root@ovmgr1 ~]# yum install ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:11 ago on Tue 06 Oct 2020 11:23:04 AM CEST. Dependencies resolved. ========================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ========================================================================================== Installing: ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap noarch 1.4.1-1.el8 ovirt-4.4 127 k ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-misc noarch 1.1.0-1.el8 ovirt-4.4 37 k Installing dependencies: unboundid-ldapsdk noarch 4.0.14-2.el8 ovirt-4.4-centos-ovirt44 4.0 M Transaction Summary ========================================================================================== Install 3 Packages Total download size: 4.2 M Installed size: 4.5 M and followed the next upgrade flow steps. After finishing the engine upgrade with the "engine-setup" step, it seems actually that I can still connect to my engine with my AD accounts, so that I don't have to do any manual step described... Does it match any one other experience? Gianluca
Hi Gianluca, There is a bug in the documentation. Configuration of all oVirt engine extensions is included in 4.3 backup, these configuration files are properly restored and upgraded during engine-setup execution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1814212 So further action around extension configuration is needed.
