Suppose that for your Fedora 18 oVirt 3.2 all-in-one config, where you
have both the engine (ovirt-engine service) and the node (vdsmd
service) there are a bunch of updates available such as:
vdsm
kernel
...

is it correct to go through the workflow below?

1) stop running VMs

2) upgrade engine
2a) no related updates
# engine-upgrade

Checking for updates... (This may take several minutes)...[ DONE ]
No updates available

2b) some related updates
(eg.
Supposing x.y below is the same as the one currrently installed

Checking for updates... (This may take several minutes)...[ DONE ]
11 Updates available:
 * ovirt-engine-x.y.x-4.fc18.noarch
 * ovirt-engine-backend-x.y.z-4.fc18.noarch
..

Error: New ovirt-engine-setup rpm available via yum.
Please execute `yum update ovirt-engine-setup`, then re-execute
'engine-upgrade'.
)

# yum update ovirt-engine-setup
# engine-upgrade

3) stop engine
# systemctl stop ovirt-engine.service

4) stop vdsmd
# systemctl stop vdsmd.service

5) update remaining system packages if something already done in step 2

# yum update

6) reboot and check all is ok
