How to install RHEV reports during upgrade of environment which was not previously equipped with these
Environment
Red Hat Enterprise Virualization (RHEV) - version 3.3 - upgraded to 3.4 or newer
Issue
During upgrade procedure from environments that do not contain active installation of RHEV reports and Data Warehouse service, RHEV does not ask
whether to setup new instance of reports. This is expected behavior of the product. However it can be worked around following the instructions below.
Resolution
After performing initial upgrade by following commands:
# yum update rhevm-setup
# rhevm-setup
Perform following actions:
yum install dwh
engine-setup
This will enable reports setup option within the rhevm-setup shell and will prompt the user
to specify whether reports should be installed or not.
If by any chance user decides to install reports even after replying "No" to question asking about DWH and
reports installation, it's possible to override this settings with following parameters of rhevm-setup:
engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=bool:True'
behaves as if I answered 'yes' (and asks further questions about dwh)
engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=none:None'
asks 'configure DWH?'
engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_REPORTS_CORE/enable=bool:True'
behaves as if I answered 'yes' (and asks further questions about reports)
engine-setup --otopi-environment='OVESETUP_REPORTS_CORE/enable=none:None'
asks 'configure Reports?'.
To get both you can:
engine-setup --offline
--otopi-environment='OVESETUP_REPORTS_CORE/enable=bool:True
OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=bool:True'
or, to be asked:
engine-setup --offline
--otopi-environment='OVESETUP_REPORTS_CORE/enable=none:None
OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=none:None'
Diagnostic Steps
Rhevm-setup does not provide question about installing reports during upgrade procedure of existing environment.
