[Users] [ANN] oVirt 3.4.0 Release Candidate is now available

[Darrell Budic]

Started testing this on two self-hosted clusters, with mixed results. There were updates from 3.4.0 beta 3.

On both, got informed the system was going to reboot in 2 minutes while it was still installing yum updates.

On the faster system, the whole update process finished before the 2 minutes were up, the VM restarted, and all appears normal.

On the other, slower cluster, the 2 minutes hit while the yum updates were still being installed, and the system rebooted. It continued rebooting every 3 minutes or so, and the engine console web pages are not available because the engine doesn’t start. it did this at least 3 times before I went ahead and reran engine-setup, which completed successfully. The system stopped restarting and the web interface was available again. A quick perusal of system logs and engine-setup logs didn’t reveal what requested the reboot.

That was rather impolite of something to do that without warning :) At least it was recoverable. Seems like scheduling the reboot while the yum updates were still running seems like a poor idea as well.
