  • Upgrade compatibility level on single hypervisor RHV 4.2 to 4.3 with hosted engine

    Posted on

    I just finished upgrading my RHV 4.2 environment to 4.3. There is one last step I need to do, which is changing the compatibility level for the cluster. I managed to do that on the previous upgrades, but this time it seems to be a bit of a catch 22. I only have a single hypervisor (although it is a pretty large one) with a self hosted engine for RHV-M. I cannot set the compatibility level to 4.3 because there still is an active VM, i.e. the hosted engine.

    The error is:
    Error while executing action: Cannot change Cluster Compatibility Version to higher version when there are active Hosts with a lower version. Please move Host mc106 with lower version to maintenance first.

    I cannot move it to maintenance since it is running the hosted engine and it has nowhere it can relocate to.

    Has anyone found a way to deal with this?
