Description of problem:
$url/ovirt-engine/docs/manual/en_US/html/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/Upgrading_the_Self-Hosted_Engine_from_6_to_7.html states:
~~~
The upgrade process ...:
...
* Upgrade all version 6 hosts to version 7. Re-run hosted-engine --deploy on all self-hosted engine hosts.
* Upgrade the self-hosted engine hosts to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6.
..
~~~
But if an admin would do this migration of 3.5 EL6 based SHE env after release of 3.6, he would have 3.6 rpms in the channel, wouldn't he?
Thus he would be having EL7 and during `yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup' he would and with 3.6 rpms.
If he would continue with EL7 and 3.6 rpms SHE deployment to existing 3.5 EL6 SHE host, he would see an error stating that he cannot mix 3.5 and 3.6 and that he should update the hosts.
Thus, IMO the documention should state clearly that first step should be EL7 with 3.5 rpms. But how would you do that? IIUC all host replated rpms are shipped into just one repo.
No idea how to do that? Populate an yum version lock list with exact (ie. 3.5) rpms versions?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhevm-doc-3.6.8-1.el6eng.noarch
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have EL6 3.5 SHE host, engine 3.6 with InClusterUpgrade scheduling policy set
2. add EL7 host, register rhel-7-server-rhev-mgmt-agent-rpms channel (after 3.6 release)
3. hosted-engine --deploy
Actual results:
deployment fails as the user cannot mix 3.5 and 3.6
Expected results:
the admin should have clear understanding the EL7 host should be 3.5 first (ie. during deployment)
