6.2. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3 Upgrade Considerations

The following is a list of key considerations that must be made when planning your upgrade.

Important

Upgrading to version 3.3 can only be performed from version 3.2
Users of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.1 must migrate to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.2 before attempting to upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3.
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 3.3 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. For further information, see https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/233143. 
Error: IPA was found to be installed on this machine. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.3 does not support installing IPA on the same machine. Please remove ipa packages before you continue.
Upgrading to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1.0 is recommended
Although Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.3 supports Enterprise Application Platform 6.0.1, upgrading to the latest supported version of JBoss is recommended. For more information on upgrading to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.1.0, see Upgrade the JBoss EAP 6 RPM Installation.
The rhevm-upgrade command has been replaced by engine-setup
From Version 3.3, installation of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager supports otopi, a standalone, plug-in-based installation framework for setting up system components. Under this framework, the rhevm-upgrade command used during the installation process has been updated to engine-setup and is now obsolete.
