[ovirt-users] HELP Upgrade hypervisors from CentOS 6.8 to CentOS 7

Mon Sep 5 15:09:25 UTC 2016

To resume the situation and be the most clear I can.
I have :

-          2 hypervisors (physical) with CentOS 6.8 : HYP1 and HYP2

-          1 oVirt manager 3.5  (physical and not hosted-engine) with CentOS 7.2
And to be able to upgrade to oVirt 3.6 or more I need to upgrade the 2 hypervisors to CentOS 7.2.
So I began with HYP2, I’ve removed it from the Cluster, and installed it with CentOS 7.2, but when I wanted to join it to a new cluster as shown in the doc, HYP2 stayed always unresponsive.
So I’ve restored the HYP2 to Centos 6.8, reinstalled it on the previous cluster and everything works well, but I really want to upgrade to CentOS 7.2 to be up-to-date, because I will have soonly more than two versions late.

As you say, “This should”, but is there anybody there who tried this operation ?

When I wrote [1], it worked for me.
If something does not work for you, I think it's best to open a bug
and attach all relevant logs, including hosted-engine-setup and vdsm
logs from the host and all engine logs from the engine vm.
I can't tell from your log snippet why your new host failed to attach
to the storage domain. If it's reproducible, please check/post vdsm logs.

[1] https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine-host-OS-upgrade/

Is there any other option to upgrade the hypervisors ?

Even if there is another option, the fact that you can't add a host
is probably problematic in itself, no? What if you actually need to
add a host?
Did you try adding a el6 host and it did work?
Best,

Unlikely, I didn’t save them, I had to rollback the host quickly before the Week-end.
All that I can tell, that is all seemed to work well during the installation of the host, all the networks were connected to the SAN, but the host didn’t want to go UP, still staying unresponsive with the message below from the oVirt engine.
Can you assure me that the installation of a physical hypervisor with CentOS 7, is possible if I put it on a different cluster than the other host using CentOS 6.8 ?

Yes, this should work.

Thanks

Hi,
I’ve followed this doc, and hoped to find a solution with it, so I did’nt use the hosted-engine –deploy command, I’ve added a new host and at the end of the installation, the host stays unresponsive because unable to be attached to the same Storage volume .

Hi,
I'd like to upgrade my oVirt environment from 3.5 to 3.6 and maybe 4, actually the manager oVirt is un 3.5 version, installed on a CentOS 7.2 and the two hypervisors are installed on CentOS 6.8.
I need anyway to upgrade the hosts to be able to move to 3.6.
I've tried to upgrade the first host, but I had of course issues telling that it can't be possible to mix different OS in the same cluster, I've also tried to create another cluster to put this host without success.
What is the best way to upgrade cleanly and safely ?
Thank you in advance for your advices

Follow this:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-engine-host-OS-upgrade/

Simply ignore the steps that refers to the engine VM if you are with the engine on a physical system.
