Chapter 4. Updating the Red Hat Virtualization Manager
Prerequisites
- The data center compatibility level must be set to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the updated storage version.
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-setupscript. Theengine-setupscript prompts you with some configuration questions, then stops theovirt-engineservice, downloads and installs the updated packages, backs up and updates the database, performs post-installation configuration, and starts theovirt-engineservice.# engine-setup
When the script completes successfully, the following message appears:
Execution of setup completed successfully
NoteThe
engine-setupscript 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-configwas used to update configuration after installation. For example, ifengine-configwas used to updateSANWipeAfterDeletetotrueafter installation,engine-setupwill 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 --nobest
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.
