RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hi

This is by design so that customers/users using openvswitch-2.9 does not update to newer streams without the Layered Product be ready to consume it.

When the product is ready, it will release an updated package that will obsolete the previous streams, in this case 2.9, and requires the new one, in this case 2.10.

Once the installation is moved to a newer stream, the following updates within the same stream should happen normally and smoothly and again it should not allow moving to any other streams (older or newer than the current one).

I think OSP and RHV already have their special packages. Perhaps you could use them to unlock and test the upgrade.

Please see BZ1625344 for info related to performing the upgrade using the rhelosp 14 repo.

Hm, that BZ is actually this one, maybe a copy&paste error?
Anyways, it would be a bug if yum updates from 2.9 to 2.10 without the LP special package.

Going to close this one, but feel free to drop me an email/ping on irc.

Perhaps it was bz#1625355 ? If so, it's closed too.
