Hi, All. If possible, I’d greatly appreciate an overview of the recommended procedure for upgrading a self-hosted engine setup from 4.5.6 on CentOS Stream release 8 to 4.5.7.
All of our hosts are running fully-updated AlmaLinux 9. When we initially setup our cluster, this gave us a self-hosted engine running CentOS Stream release 8. As 8 is no-longer supported, it seems the first step for upgrading our cluster from 4.5.6 to 4.5.7 is to update the engine to Stream 9 (or 10)? Has anyone else completed this upgrade, and does this look like the right approach? 1. Put the cluster in global maintenance: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global 2. Stop ovirt-engine on the engine VM: systemctl stop ovirt-engine.service 3. Backup the engine: /usr/bin/engine-backup --mode=backup --scope=all --file="/var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/backup.tar.bz2" --log=/var/log/ovirt-engine-backups.log 4. From an existing host, deploy a new engine: hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=backup.tar.bz2 5. From the new engine, re-install each existing host. If that looks correct, is there anything we need to do for the existing hosts that are running many VMs in addition to the hosted engine? Should we expect to be able to deploy a new engine and update each host to 4.5.7 without downtime for any running VMs?
