Hi question about Version 3 API deprecation.

I see events in the event log of my 4.2.6.4-1.el7 ovirt engine that say the following. "Client from address "10.1.1.50" is using version 3 of the API, which has been deprecated since version 4.0 of the engine, and will no longer be supported starting with version 4.4. Make sure to update that client to use a supported versions of the API and the SDKs, before upgrading to version 4.4 of the engine." The question I have is the API of what precisely? I am just trying to determine what I need to update on the client machine to be supported. The client machines are using CentOS 7.4 or newer, and remote viewer to bring back windows desktops. I could assume it is "remote viewer" I need to update, but I thought I would ask here and see what is known about this error message. Thank you. -- Jacob Green Systems Admin

Exactly.

Good idea anyway. We intended to deprecate it several versions ago, but it was postponed again and again. But I think this time it's for real. See e.g.: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399750 What remote viewer do you use? It's quite likely that you only need to upgrade it to its latest version. If not, either file a bug against it (if it's still supported) or consider migrating to some other client/viewer. Best regards, -- Didi

It will be the virt-viewer client on Centos, the latest version of virt-viewer for Centos and RHEL is 5. I haven't looked at RHEL8 Beta yet.

FYI It looks like virt-viewer 7 is in RHEL8 Beta. The latest version of virt-viewer is 8, just released and version 6 changed the API version to 4. Maybe you could install a later version using Flatpak or Snap. Regards, Paul S. To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to:- http://leedsbeckett.ac.uk/disclaimer/email/

Thank you for the help and information guys! I now know exactly what I need to target for upgrades prior to upgrading our Ovirt Engine environment. On 03/12/2019 06:29 AM, Staniforth, Paul wrote:
