[Users] moving ovirt controller

[Vered Volansky]

Hi Rob,

What you need to do is upgrade the engine using engine-setup and the SHA of the version you want.
If you have the rpm for the newer version use it with engine-seyup.
If not, you'll have to build on your own, the use engine-setup.
Then you can migrate the DB.

This, BTW, is highly not recommended, though this is the way to work.
It's recommended to work with stable versions.

Let me know us this works for you.

Regards,
Vered
