Description Ken Sugawara 2015-07-15 03:29:20 UTC

Title: Upgrading the Self-Hosted Engine

Describe the issue:

The upgrade procedure does not include enabling rhel-6-server-rhevm-3.5-rpms repo or adding rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevm-3.5 channel before doing "yum upgrade".


Suggestions for improvement:
1. Add a step in which either of the following two commands should be run depending on the way the host is registered:

subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-rhevm-3.5-rpms
or
rhn-channel -a -c rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevm-3.5

2. Also add a step as the last step in which you disable the older repo or channel:

subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-6-server-rhevm-3.4-rpms
or
rhn-channel -r -c rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhevm-3.4

Additional information:

none

Assigning to Tahlia for review.

Comment 2 Tahlia Richardson 2015-07-30 01:07:21 UTC

Hi Ken,

Do these steps need to be added for each host (Host A and Host B, and in 3.8. Upgrading Additional Hosts in a Self-Hosted Environment), or just for the Manager virtual machine? 

For the Manager virtual machine, step 15 is: 'Log in to the Manager virtual machine and update the engine as per the instructions in Section 5.2.4, “Upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.5”.'
The linked section, Upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager 3.5, does include steps for enabling the new repos and disabling the old repos.

Tahila,

Sorry I missed the needinfo notice before.

These steps are missing in the procedure to upgrade the self-hosted engine hosts from RHEV 3.4 to 3.5, not the self-hosted engine itself.

Sorry it wasn't clear enough.

Thanks,

Ken

Thanks for the update, Ken; I understand now. Sorry for the confusion. 
Julie has also forwarded me an email thread about this, so I see that you've tested the procedure with these additional steps. I'll test it, too, for the sake of being thorough, but it looks right to me, and adding the steps to the docs should be a simple matter. :)

Hi Tahlia (sorry for the misspelling earlier)

Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Assigning Megan as the QA contact.

Megan - could you take a look at the above changes?
