[ovirt-users] oVirt Node update question

[Yuval Turgeman]

Hi,

oVirt node ng is shipped with a placeholder rpm preinstalled.
The image-update rpms obsolete the placeholder rpm, so once a new
image-update rpm is published, yum update will pull those packages.  So you
have 1 system that was a fresh install and the others were upgrades.
Next, the post install script for those image-update rpms will install
--justdb the image-update rpms to the new image (so running yum update in
the new image won't try to pull again the same version).

Regarding the 4.1.6 it's very strange, we'll need to check the repos to see
why it was published.

As for nodectl, if there are no changes, it won't be updated and you'll see
an "old" version or a version that doesn't seem to be matching the current
image, but it is ok, we are thinking of changing its name to make it less
confusing.

Hope this helps,
Yuval.
