Hi Indra, Yes this steps are not needed for 4.1.x to 4.2 upgrades, they are needed only during upgrade from previous versions.

Because you mention that below is only applicable on sections 3.2 and 3.3, which are the sections for the earlier version to 4.2.0? === 6. Also, in all the sections 3.2 and 3.3 , add this step for agent upgrades After running this , Edit /etc/cloudstack/agent/agent. properties to change the resource parameter from com.cloud.agent.resource.computing.LibvirtComputingResource to com.cloud.hypervisor.kvm.resource.LibvirtComputingResource We need to run the following too, Upgrade all the existing bridge names to new bridge names by running this script: # cloudstack-agent-upgrade . Install a libvirt hook with the following commands: # mkdir /etc/libvirt/hooks # cp /usr/share/cloudstack-agent/lib/libvirtqemuhook /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu # chmod +x /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu . Restart libvirtd. # service libvirtd restart . Start the agent. # service cloudstack-agent start === Looking forward to your reply, thank you. Cheers.
