4.3. Updating the Red Hat Virtualization Manager
Prerequisites
Ensure the Manager has the correct repositories enabled. For the list of required repositories, see Enabling the Red Hat Virtualization Manager Repositories for Red Hat Virtualization 4.3.
Updates to the Red Hat Virtualization Manager are released through the Content Delivery Network.
Procedure
On the Manager machine, check if updated packages are available:
# engine-upgrade-check
Update the setup packages:
# yum update ovirt\*setup\* rh\*vm-setup-plugins
Update the Red Hat Virtualization Manager with the
engine-setup
script. Theengine-setup
script prompts you with some configuration questions, then stops theovirt-engine
service, downloads and installs the updated packages, backs up and updates the database, performs post-installation configuration, and starts theovirt-engine
service.# engine-setup
When the script completes successfully, the following message appears:
Execution of setup completed successfully
NoteThe
engine-setup
script is also used during the Red Hat Virtualization Manager installation process, and it stores the configuration values supplied. During an update, the stored values are displayed when previewing the configuration, and might not be up to date ifengine-config
was used to update configuration after installation. For example, ifengine-config
was used to updateSANWipeAfterDelete
totrue
after installation,engine-setup
will output "Default SAN wipe after delete: False" in the configuration preview. However, the updated values will not be overwritten byengine-setup
.ImportantThe update process might take some time. Do not stop the process before it completes.
Update the base operating system and any optional packages installed on the Manager:
# yum update
ImportantIf you encounter a required Ansible package conflict during the update, see Cannot perform yum update on my RHV manager (ansible conflict).
ImportantIf any kernel packages were updated, reboot the machine to complete the update.
You can now upgrade the Manager to 4.4.
