[ovirt-users] the better way to update vdsm

[Nathanaël Blanchet]

Hi all,

I'm about to update to 3.4.4 with the associated vdsm. Updating vdsm 
with yum is trivial, but it usually breaks running vms on the host.
So these are the steps I follow each time:

  * live migrating runnings vms to a another host in the cluster
  * putting the host in maintenance
  * updating vdsm
  * activating the host
  * getting back the vms
  * and so on with the other hosts...

But sometimes it is not enough, I need to reinstall the host so as to 
the host be able to successfully activate.

When getting back the vms on the initial host, I must do it manually to 
load balance vms between the hosts and this is not very convinient.

So my question is : do I update in the right way, or is there any 
recommendations that I didn't find anyway?

Thanks.
