Bug 1097872

Hi,

Could someone confirm the statement below is correct :

> The correct link for both should be (I believe):
> http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm


(I'm about to upgrade, I would be glad not to mess my setup.)

Currently it's a bit more complicated.
releases <= 3.4.0 should use http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm

releases >= 3.4.0 should use http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm

OK Sandro,

So according to what you say, I have to upgrade my 3.3.0-4.el6 setup (CentOS 6.4) just by running yum upgrade.

I don't get it. How will I switch from  http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm to http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm ?

I'm sorry, but this is no clear statement, because this means:

if you got 3.4.0 installed you should use _both_
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm
and
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm

I'm pretty sure it should mean:
releases < 3.4.0: http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm
releases >= 3.4.0: http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm

@nicolas: I'm not 100% sure but I guess you just can do:
yum remove ovirt-release
yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release34.rpm

HTH

Thank you Sven for your hint.
I really appreciate your help, and I want to be sure not to break anything. This setup is in production.

To be clear, here is what's happening :

On this CentOS 6.4, at present, is installed :
-------------------------------------
root@serv-mvm-adm2:/etc# rpm -qa |grep -i ovirt
ovirt-engine-lib-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-iso-uploader-3.3.0-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-cli-3.3.0.4-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-restapi-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-tools-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-release-el6-8-1.noarch
ovirt-engine-sdk-python-3.3.0.6-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-image-uploader-3.3.0-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-setup-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-websocket-proxy-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-host-deploy-1.1.1-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-log-collector-3.3.0-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-host-deploy-java-1.1.1-1.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-backend-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
ovirt-engine-userportal-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
-------------------------------------

So I guess your advice to "yum remove ovirt-release" should read "yum remove ovirt-release-el6-8-1.noarch"?
I ran it without going on, and there seem to be no related deletion when doing so.

I also tested to dry-run a yum upgrade, and I get that strange situation :

-------------------------------------
---> Package ovirt-engine-setup-base.noarch 0:3.4.0-1.el6 will be installed
---> Package ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine.noarch 0:3.4.0-1.el6 will be installed

Error: ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine conflicts with ovirt-engine-3.3.0-4.el6.noarch
-------------------------------------

That is strange to see that a package not installed yet (ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-ovirt-engine) *will* be conflicting with a package I WANT to upgrade (ovirt-engine = 3.3.0-4.el6).

If this is secure, and if you confirm, I will try to yum remove ovirt-release-el6-8-1.noarch then yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release.noarch.rpm, but one must admit the situation is not clear.

It's not so strange.
Upgrading to 3.4.0 is supported only from >= 3.3.2.
For upgrading from 3.3.0 you must first upgrade to a newer 3.3.z version (latest is 3.3.5).

Above conflict prevent you from installing a setup version that can't work with what you have.

Hello,

Can you please verify the changes ?

Sandro,

During the last 3 hours, I realized what was the correct way to upgrading, RTFMing the release notes.
And you are right, I have an intermediate step to pass.

This is what I did, and I successfully stepped from 3.3.0-4.el6 to 3.3.5-1.el6, following this page's advice :
http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.3.5_release_notes

I guess I have also to upgrade my hosts before stepping into 3.4 world.

Thank you for your help.

There is more work required to fix this issue.

There are still two links pointing to the wrong page at the top of that page.
The text reads:

-----------------------
The oVirt Engine must be configured to receive updates from the oVirt project's software repository, as provided by the ovirt-release package matching your OS distribution:

    Fedora
    CentOS. 
---------------------------

Those links still point to the wrong locations. Can we address it under this bug or do we need a new one?

No need, we can do it here. Let me fix.

Hello Bob,

I fixed the links. Please let me know if there is something else that should be fixed.

- Kiril

Looking much better, thanks!

Well is CentOS 6.2 still the recommended version? Not 6.5? I know - different bug :) But as long as you are there...
