RHEV-H 3.5 is el6 only - there are no el7 based builds (maybe a tech preview build tho). el7 support is in RHEV-H 3.6 and later only. There is also no direct upgrade path from el6 to el7 hosts. The intended upgrade path is to replace el6 with el7 hosts using RHEV 3.6, then move to RHV 4, once all hosts have been migrated to el7. Anything I am missing?

How do they upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6, if there's no RHEVH 7.2 based hypervisor (I thought there was, btw - perhaps a confusion between RHEVH and RHVH NGN?) > > Anything I am missing? Reinstallation of hosts was the only option to move from el6 to el7 - regardless of the version. There is actually a bug tracking this migration path: bug 1290340. There is no way to upgrade HE 3.5 to 3.6 without this specific RHEVH 3.5 based RHEL7. It requires 1.2 ha packages to trigger upgrade of HA and import the HE SD into RHEV environment, which is happening during 1.2 to 1.3 ha packages update. IT is impossible to achieve any other simple way, since the channel that ships vdsm and ha packages for RHEL7 contains the current latest version (latest 3.6) and it is hard to manually ensure that all the exact 3.5 packages are pulled to the host when it is added as to HE setup. That's is why it was agreed that we need to use a locked version of packages, available on RHEV-H, to perform this upgrade. For details, check HE upgrade flow: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2351141 Or, for example, errata for the last RHEV-H built that is needed for the process, but nowhere available for download: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2016-0312.html |
