Yes I needed to play a lot with repositories, but I’m on holiday and don’t have them right now available.

So if I understand you correctly, Fabrice, I can do a direct update from 4.3 to 4.5, and there's no need for a two-step update (from 4.3 to 4.4 and then to 4.5)? Thats great news!

Was the installation on Rocky 9 (Fabrice) and Alma 9(Nathanaël) straightforward? Did you both use the RHEL 9.x repositories mentioned on https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html?

Thank you all for your responses. Pavel

I migrated from 4.3 CentOS 7 to 4.5 Rocky 9.

I migrated the engine from one server to another using a backup/restore.

I reinstalled the hosts without loss because I have a SAN.

Hi,

I’m working on upgrading an oVirt 4.3 cluster to the latest 4.5 version. So far, I’ve successfully performed a test upgrade of the oVirt Engine from 4.3 (CentOS 7) to 4.4 (AlmaLinux 8.10).

I’ve encountered some noVNC issues, as described here: https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-manager-vm-console-novnc-exc...

I’ll probably leave this issue unresolved for now, as I’m planning to continue with the upgrade process.

For the next step, I’d like to ask if anyone has experience installing and running an oVirt 4.5 cluster (both engine and hosts) on AlmaLinux 8.x. So far, it seems that I might need to upgrade the OS to AlmaLinux 9 as well, possibly using ELevate.

If anyone has recently completed a similar migration, I’d really appreciate any tips or recommendations.

Best regards, Pavel
