Two upgrade flows are available (and supported) for RHEV 3.6 to RHV 4.0, and must be documented: 1. Standard (bare metal) RHEV 3.6 Manager to standard (bare metal) RHV 4.0 Manager 2. Self-hosted RHEV 3.6 Manager to self-hosted RHV 4.0 Manager See bug 1318580 for more details on flow 1. Flow 2 is proposed in bug 1319457, but should be confirmed with engineering and QE. NOTE: In RHV 4.0, self-hosted engine setup is supported using the RHEV-M Virtual Appliance only.
Assigning to Byron for review.
This bug will now track only the standard 3.6 to 4.0 upgrade flow. Moving the docs requirement for a self-hosted engine upgrade flow to bug 1358072.
