oVirt upgrade version from 4.2 to 4.3

I cannot find an official upgrade procedure from 4.2 to 4.3 oVirt version on this page: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/upgrade-guide.html Can you help me? Thanks

Hello, as far as I know, the procedure is the usual. You can use the upgrade guide from 4.1 to 4.2. Luca On Thu, May 16, 2019 at 2:40 PM <dmarini@it.iliad.com> wrote:

Hello,
Thanks Luca, but as we are talking about a production platform, I'd like to have an official doc to assure this is the right upgrade procedure. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/MWNVMWEEHAO5CW...

You can take a look at the RHEV 4.3 documentation. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... There is another good read at: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... You should probably wait for 4.3.4 to arrive, since 4.3.3 is still a little bit rough on the edges. I can currently only create a new VM via the templates, because the normal creation dialog errors, when I change the datacenter. Otherwise the upgrade went very well. If you are running off of oVirt Node NG it is very straightforward. I did: 1. Check of all nodes are using firewalld. You have to switch all nodes to use firewalld, because Iptables is deprecated and removed in 4.3 as it was said in documentation. You have to re-install every node for that. So every node has to go through maintenance. 2. Upgrade the engine. First to the 4.2.8 then to 4.3.x My upgrade flow for this is: Engine Update START Minor Upgrades first enable global maintenance mode login to engine engine-upgrade-check yum update "ovirt-*-setup*" engine-setup yum update when success: disable global maintenance mode Major Upgrade enable global maintenance mode login to engine yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release[releasenumber].rpm engine-upgrade-check yum update "ovirt-*-setup*" engine-setup remove the old ovirt release from /etc/yum.repos.d yum update when success: disable global maintenance mode Engine Upgrade END 3. Upgrade the nodes. First to 4.2.8 then as specified in ovirt release info: yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.3/rpm/el7/noarch/ovirt-node-ng-image... 4. Upgrade the Datacenter Compatibility to 4.3 This includes rebooting all VMs at one point. You can read about it in the documentation. Then you're done.

AND HAVE BACKUPS OF THE ENGINE. But I suppose you already have automated backups of the engine. Right? After raising the datacenter compatibility to 4.3 the backups of 4.2 oVirt are incompatible with 4.3!

As others noted, the above should be sufficient, for general upgrade instructions, even though it does require some updates. You probably want to read also: https://ovirt.org/release/4.3.0/ as well as all the other relevant pages in: https://ovirt.org/release/ Best regards,
