Sorry to ask again, But I can see from the link below the that nodes and 
engines should work between minor number

upgrades. But is ovirt 4.2.x backward compatible with, say, 3.6 nodes. Does 
anyone know ? Is this documented  anywhere ?

Subject: Query about running ovirt-4.2.1 engine support 3.x nodes ?


Hello All,


I have two hopefully easy questions regarding an ovirt-4.2.1 engine support and 
3.x nodes ?


1) Does an ovirt-4.2.x engine support 3.x nodes ? As This page states:


"The cluster compatibility is set according to the version of the least capable 
host operating system in the cluster."


https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/chap-Post-Upgrade_Tasks/


Which seems to indicate that you can run say a 4.2.1 engine with lower version 
nodes, but is that correct ?


2) And can you just upgrade the nodes directly from 3.x to 4.2.x as per these 
steps ?


1. Move the node to maintenance
2. Add 4.2.x repos
3. yum update
4. reboot
5. Activate (exit maintenance)


I've looked in the release notes but wasn't able to find much detail on 
ovirt-nodes upgrades.


Thanks,

Joe.
