If you have only one host and it sounds like it then upgrading is a bit
different.
hosted-engine command is available on the HOST.
Just shutdown all VM's, either way will work if you have
ovirt-guest-agent running inside the VM's
place hosted-engine in maintenance mode (hosted-engine --set-maintenance
--mode=global)
ssh, use vnc, into engine
yum upgrade if you want to upgrade the system too, else running
engine-setup will update only ovirt components.
shutdown the engine.
yum upgrade your host, reboot your host, once back up, disable
maintenance mode (replace global with none)
ha-agent and ha-broker will start the engine for you.
