Hello, I would like to know if I can do an oVirt upgrade directly from 4.2 to 
4.5.

I don’t have a free host to upgrade the oVirt Node, so I was hoping that would 
be possible to fire up a new engine (with restore-backup) on the old oVirt 
Nodes and later on upgrade the hosts.

Is this possible?

Please upgrade the engine to 4.3 and take a backup.
Direct upgrade from 4.3 to 4.5 should work fine but direct upgrade from 4.2 
backup is not working.
As for the host, oVirt Node 4.5 is supposed to be compatible with ovirt engine 
>= 4.2.

Thank you Sandro. I’m following the instructions over here:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_the_Manager_to_4-3_4-2_local_db
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_Remote_Databases_from_PG95_to_PG10_4-2_remote_db

I had to upgrade Postgres to version 10, on the SelfHosted Engine to proceed. 
Just followed the “remote database procedure” even without a remote DB.

I just have one more question: to do the jump from 4.3 to 4.5 on the engine the 
only way is restoring a backup right? Since 4.5 is based on EL8. I cannot do 
the yum update ovirt\*setup\* method right? Is there other way?

Also during the host upgrades, I understand that I can run oVirt Node 4.5 with 
Engine 4.2 (and now 4.3), which is awesome. But is there a path where I can 
upgrade the engine to the latest version and them move the hosts?

I have those questions because I can’t see where or when the OS upgrade will be 
done on the SHE during 4.3 -> 4.5.

Thank you.
