On the weekend I upgraded my self-hosted oVirt engine to 4.56. All went well with that!
I also spotted that there was an update for all my 4.54 nodes, but something has changed with the repo overnight because none of my nodes see updates anymore, though the update remains available here … https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.5/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/. Yesterday, I attempted to update just one of my nodes and ran into this snag… “Local storage domains were found on the same filesystem as / ! Please migrate the data to a new LV before upgrading, or you will lose the VMs”. I’ve always stored my VMs in a separate /DATA directory off the root filesystem, and shared the local storage using NFS. I know it’s not ideal, but with good frequent regular backups, it has served me well for many years. A Google search revealed, that others have also had similar local storage issues, and suggestions on ways to mitigate the issue, including the oVirt documentation found here… https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html#Upgrading_hypervisor_preserving_local_storage_4-3_local_db, is not my preferred fix. In the past node updates with my local storage were not a problem and were easy peasy! From some of the discussions I saw at Red Hat, I have deduced (maybe wrongly) that there was an issue that necessitated a fix, which introduced a required check for local storage during the upgrade process. I probably should move all the local storage off the oVirt nodes, but at this time, that is easier said than done. I’m posting here only to see if there are perhaps other ideas or perspectives I may not have thought of and should consider with my local storage. Thank you all in advance, much appreciated, and of course, thank you all for supporting oVirt! _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/YR23KNJSUXH4DSAKTC3KEUKEC7V54VD6/
