Description Sarvesh Pandit 2016-11-21 11:26:22 UTC
Description of problem:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/self-hosted-engine-guide/54-upgrading-a-rhev-h-based-self-hosted-engine-environment

In the above process, 6th step is wrong:

===================
6. On the Manager virtual machine, enable the required repository.

# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4.0-rpms
===================

First thing "rhel-7-server-rhv-4.0-rpms" is repo which need to enable on RHEL host, this is RHV-H-7 for 3.6 so we can't enable it on any RHV-Host.

Second thing at this step, RHV-M is RHEL 6.X based HE-VM, so can't enable RHEL 7 repo on 6.X systems. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NA

How reproducible:
NA

Steps to Reproduce:
NA

Actual results:
6th Step is mentioned.

Expected results:
Need to remove wrong 6th step from document. without this step upgrade works fine.

Can you please review the docs here? Do we need this step for RHV-H?

It seems step '6.' is useless as appliance will replace current HE VM anyway. Should be confirmed by responsible QE team.

Comment 3 Artyom 2016-12-01 08:41:26 UTC
Agree with Jiri about step 6:
hosted-engine --upgrade-appliance will create new VM so it useless to add channels to the old VM

Correct me if I wrong:
1) The command --upgrade-appliance exists only under hosts with the 4.0 packages, so you will need to upgrade first hosts.

2) I must run upgrade of RHEV-H from the engine or via PXE, and not via package manager, so you do not need to run subscription manager commands
