[Gianluca Cecchi]

Hi Gianluca,

currently we have:

2 hosts (one is running also the oVirt Engine)
1 DC
We are only using NFS storage.

No reports are used. But we have it integrated into our LDAP.

Best regards
Christoph

Can you give more details, such as:
- how many hosts?
- how many DCs?
- how many Clusters?
- which kinds of storage domains in use (NFS, iSCSI, FC, ...)?
- currently using Hosted Engine? Planning to use it in upgraded environment?
- currently using reports and dwh and if so, currently using which database
for them?
- other custom configuration aspects?
The more you give in advance the more other users can share about their
experience.
In general this guide for RHEV should be of help for oVirt too:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/
upgrade-guide/
HIH as a first insight,
Gianluca


As the environment is simple I can try to simulate, probably next week, as
an exercise, as I have to migrate a similar test environment then.
I'll let you know.
Plain ldap or freeipa or what? I will test with freeipa as shipped in
CentOS 7.2 with updates (not yet upgraded to 7.3)
