Description of problem: The documentation doesn't mention the image parameter for the upgrade call for RHEVH. How reproducible: 100% Actual results: Documentation is missing. Expected results: All parameters should be documented, including the "image" parameter.
Martin, who in the infra team knows better host installation/upgrade?
Lev, what image parameter are you talking about? AFAIK we don't have any image parameter in host upgrade manager
We have an "action.image" parameter in the "install" and "upgrade" methods of the host: POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/123 <action> <image>whatever.iso</image> </action> This is used here, for example: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/f8bd9eda8cf58ca16c4d7d6915f0579dcc2b4150/backend/manager/modules/restapi/jaxrs/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/api/restapi/resource/BackendHostResource.java#L155-L157 But it isn't declared in the specification of the API, which is bad in itself, but it also means that it can't be used with the SDKs.
Sorry, the URL should have been: POST /ovirt-engine/api/hosts/123/upgrade
Ahh, found it. The image parameter is used only when upgrading vintage node, it has no usage when upgrading NGN or RHEL host. Sandro, are we still officially supporting installation/upgrades of vintage node in 4.1/4.2? If not, then I don't see a reason why we should invest time to fix that documentation issue ..
We are not supporting it in general, but we have engine-host-update tool which is used to help upgrading legacy clusters to 4.1 / 4.2 which is supposed to be able to work with legacy RHEV-H. Lev found the missing doc while working on it. If it doesn't cost too much time, I would like above info provided by Juan added to the documentation for next time we need them.

OK, makes sense. Ori, could you please add the required documentation for image parameter and backport the doc patch to 4.1.7?
Verified that image parameter is documented.
