But this requires that my entire Production Environment being
off-line, to do a point update of the oVirt from 3.0 to 3.1.....

oVirt Nodes can run without a Manager being present and all Guest will
stay Up and running. What if, Taking the whole environment off line,
is not an option...

- From a DR point of view, oVirt needs a Backup solution to backup the
Manager, and more importantly a Restore Option that would mean you can
bring an oVirt Manager Back online without the whole lot being off-line.
