On the contrary - in RHEV we still support only el6 for the engine:

I still didn't try to reproduce your failure, no idea.

It should work.

Perhaps to aid debugging you can try this, but _do_not_ press Enter:

yum --disableplugin=versionlock update ovirt-engine

Kill it (or reply 'no').

What does it output?

This one does not deal with upgrading the engine OS. For that Sandro
started [1] but gave up after having some issues.
