[ovirt-devel] [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 3.4.4 Release is now available

[Bob Doolittle]

Cool!

However, the instructions for upgrading a Hosted Engine setup look 
suspiciously out of date and divergent from the instructions for 
upgrading standalone engine (e.g. you never run engine-setup??).

Is this page accurate:
http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto#Upgrade_Hosted_Engine

I just fixed a bunch of egregious typos on the page myself - all of the 
hosted-engine invocation lines were incorrect (e.g. "hosted-engine 
--set-maintenance=global" instead of the now-corrected syntax: 
"hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global"). This makes me somewhat 
cautious about the rest of the page content I'm afraid.

Is it accurate to say that when upgrading a Hosted Engine setup you 
basically just upgrade the packages (while carefully orchestrating which 
services are up at the time), and never run engine-setup?

If that page *is* accurate, why is engine-setup required for upgrading a 
standalone engine?

Thanks,
     Bob
