[ovirt-users] latest CentOS libvirt updates safe?

[Pavel Gashev]

Upgrading libvirt doesn’t touch running VMs, if there are no active VM operations (start/stop/snapshots/migration). I upgrade libvirt/qemu/vdsm on the fly. Just stop the engine to make sure that nothing will interrupt the upgrade.

Is it safe to let yum update these packages while the host has running VMs?
in maintenance mode? or not at all?
