Description Lucy Bopf 2017-03-01 01:35:59 UTC
With this update, a new option to check for upgrades has been added when installing a host. In the Administration Portal this is available in the host installation menu and it can be triggered by using the hosts upgradecheck endpoint in the REST API. (REST API to be documented separately.)

Updates to the host installation procedures need to be made.

Comment 2 Lucy Bopf 2017-05-12 06:33:07 UTC
From bug 1421005:

Only hosts that have the status Up or NonOperational are checked for upgrades. Previously hosts with the status Maintenance were also checked, but often they were not reachable which caused errors in Events.

Comment 3 Lucy Bopf 2017-05-12 06:36:03 UTC
I think the feature to disable automatic periodic checks for host upgrades should be covered by this bug, too.

From bug 1427735:

This fix allows administrators to set the engine-config option "HostPackagesUpdateTimeInHours" to 0, which disables automatic periodic checks for host upgrades. Automatic periodic checks are not always needed, for example when managing hosts using Satellite.

Document how to disable automatic periodic checks for host upgrades using the engine-config tool.
