After seeing this thread I decided to attempt to reproduce the errors
and see if I could get my same version to upgrade...

This is what I have installed now,

# rpm -qa ovirt*
ovirt-engine-userportal-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-cli-3.1.0.2-1alpha.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-sdk-3.1.0.1-1alpha.el6.noarch
ovirt-log-collector-3.1.0-11alpha.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-config-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-setup-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-backend-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-iso-uploader-3.1.0-11alpha.el6.noarch
ovirt-image-uploader-3.1.0-11alpha.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-jbossas711-1-0.x86_64
ovirt-engine-restapi-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.1.0_0001-1.8.el6.noarch

However when I run engine-check-upgrade no updates are found


# engine-check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, versionlock
Checking for updates... (This may take several minutes)

No updates available

What's strange is if I disable the versionlock plugin and check
updates in yum , I only see 2 ovirt related items

# yum --disableplugin=versionlock check-update

Have already done a 'yum clean all', and ensured my repo files match
those posted on the website.  Any tips on how to do an upgrade?

Thanks
