5.2. Upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4
5.2.1. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.4 Upgrade Overview
Important
Always update to the latest minor version of your current Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager version before you upgrade to the next major version.
The process for upgrading Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager comprises three main steps:
- Configuring channels and entitlements.
- Updating the required packages.
- Performing the upgrade.
The command used to perform the upgrade itself is
engine-setup, which provides an interactive interface. While the upgrade is in process, virtualization hosts and the virtual machines running on those virtualization hosts continue to operate independently. When the upgrade is complete, you can then upgrade your hosts to the latest versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor.
