Sure, but at date of announce of oVirt 4.3.5 (30/07), CentOS 7.7 was not
available yet (17/09)... so that phrase was a bit speculation... ;-)

In my case I currently have both my separate server engine and 3 plain
hosts in CentOS 7.6 + 4.3.5
What would it be the workflow?
Did you test this scenario, that I think will be very common with users
that upgrades often (eg in their test env)?

engine
1) yum update to update OS
I think versionlock plugin of oVirt will prevent update of its core parts,
correct?
I see many ovirt related packages put in. See here:

versionlock prevented:

[g.cecchi@ovmgr1 ~]$ sudo yum versionlock status

versionlock status done
[g.cecchi@ovmgr1 ~]$

2) reboot

3) update oVirt
NOTE: probably non need d update setup packages, because put in in previous
update phase, correct?

4) eventually yum update again to see if any packages due to new repo conf

5) reboot of engine

hosts
6) put into maintenance
7) simply yum update that will update CentOS packages + oVirt ones (vdsm
and such..)

Do you agree or have alternative path?
Thanks,
Gianluca
