IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're upgrading from a previous version, please update ovirt-release to the latest version (10) and verify you have the correct repositories enabled by running the following commands # yum update ovirt-release # yum repolist enabled before upgrading with the usual procedure. You should see the ovirt-3.3.2 and ovirt-stable repositories listed in the output of the repolist command. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.3.2_release_notes -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.
