<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri">Thanks for the suggestions. As I noted, “my hosts are still running oVirt node 3.6.” As in, I’m not running a general purpose EL7 installation – I’m running the stripped down oVirt node
3.6 image which is based on EL7 but can’t be upgraded (via yum) as in a normal OS install. After digging through some assorted pages (e.g.
<a href="http://www.ovirt.org/node/)">http://www.ovirt.org/node/)</a> , it looks like oVirt Node has undergone an extensive redesign since 4.x . So I’ll rebuild all my hosts.

3.6 compatibilty mode. All of the oVirt documentation I’ve found is referencing 3.x. Can someone point me to updated documentation – does it exist? I found the equivalent documentation for the commercial product, RHV, but it (<a href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/upgrade-guide/32-upgrading-to-red-hat-virtualization-manager-40)" target="_blank">https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/upgrade-guide/32-upgrading-to-red-hat-virtualization-manager-40)</a>
doesn’t really address upgrading hosts from 3.6 to 4.x. Do 3.6 hosts have to be removed, wiped, and rebuilt from scratch? Or can they be upgraded to 4.x from the manager, or by booting from the 4.x ISO?
