oVirt On Rocky 8.x - Upgrade To Rocky 9.1
Hi All, Sorry if this was mentioned previously (I obviously missed it if it was) but can we upgrade an oVirt (latest version) Host/Cluster and/or the oVirt Engine VM from Rocky Linux (RHEL) v8.6/8.7 to v9.1 (yet), and if so, what is / where can I find the procedure to do this - ie is there anything "special" that needs to be done because of oVirt, or can we just do a "simple" v8.x +> v9.1 upgrade? Thanks in advance Cheers Dulux-Oz

For the engine itself, be sure to take a backup then I would consider to re-install the host and restore the backup. For the node I would put the host in maintenance and remove it from the cluster, reinstall it with 9.1 and add it to the cluster. If you decide to attempt an in-place upgrade let us know how it goes. -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo@redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

I tried several ways to upgrade a node and the hosted-engine and it didn´t work. The upgrade of a standard installation of Rocky 8.x to 9 works fine, but when you add the Ovirt/CentOS repositories, dnf starts to throw a bunch of conflicts and it doesn´t work anymore, and you have just bricked your host. Reinstall a node is easy. The problem is reinstall a node with GlusterFS hyper converged. For the hosted-engine, the only option would be reinstall it and restore a backup, right? It would be really nice if the Leapp (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/htm...) was available for CentOS and Rocky.
