4.2. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.5 Upgrade Considerations
The following is a list of key considerations that must be made when planning your upgrade.
Important
- Upgrading to version 3.5 can only be performed from version 3.4
- To upgrade a previous version of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization earlier than Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4 to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.5, you must sequentially upgrade to any newer versions of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization before upgrading to the latest version. For example, if you are using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3, you must upgrade to the latest minor version of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.4 before you can upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.5.
- Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager cannot be installed on the same machine as IPA
- An error message displays if the ipa-server package is installed. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.5 does not support installation on the same machine as Identity Management (IdM). To resolve this issue, you must migrate the IdM configuration to another system before re-attempting the upgrade.
- Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.5 is supported to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
- Upgrading to version 3.5 involves also upgrading the base operating system of the machine that hosts the Manager.
