BZ#1792874

Partial cleanups are not supported. Previously, when the user ran engine-cleanup, it asked whether to remove everything. If the user replied 'No' and selected specific components to remove, the result was a broken system. The current release fixes this issue by eliminating the question. When you run engine-cleanup, the only option is to remove everything.

Before this update, when migrating a virtual machine, information about the running guest agent wasn’t always passed to the destination host, resulting in an after_migration life cycle event not being sent to the virtual machine on the destination host. This update fixes the issue, and the after_migration notification should work as expected.

BZ#1796967

BZ#1808038

In RHV 4.1, the default console of the self-hosted engine virtual machine is set to VGA. Previously, after upgrading from RHV version 4.1 to 4.3, these graphical console settings were locked and trying to change them produced an error message. The current release fixes this issue by setting the default display to VNC during the upgrade to 4.3. This fix enables you to change the graphical console setting for the hosted engine virtual machine.
