Description chhu 2020-10-09 08:28:09 UTC

Steps in "Manually Updating Hosts" document is not working for updating RHEL-AV:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/upgrade_guide/manually_updating_hosts_minor_updates

RHV 4.4.2 is with RHEL-AV 8.2.1.
For updating hosts manually for RHEL-AV(E.g. update to RHEL-AV 8.3.0),
following steps are needed:
1. Ensure the correct repositories are enabled. You can check which repositories are currently enabled by running dnf repolist.
# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhvh-4-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
# subscription-manager repos \
--enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \
--enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \
......
--enable=advanced-virt-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \
......
2. In the Administration Portal, click Compute → Hosts and select the host to be updated.
3. Click Management → Maintenance.

4. Update the host:
# dnf module reset virt -y; dnf module enable virt:8.3 -y
# dnf upgrade

5. Reboot the host to ensure all updates are correctly applied.

More details:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Prepare RHEL-AV 8.2.1 env
# yum module list
Name Stream Profiles Summary
virt 8.2 [e] common [d] [i] Virtualization module
...
2. Enable RHEL-AV 8.3.0 repo
# yum module list
Name Stream Profiles Summary
virt 8.3 common [d] Virtualization module
...
3. Run `dnf upgrade`, no RHEL-AV 8.3.0 libvirt, qemu-kvm packages are listed.
4. Run `dnf module reset virt -y; dnf module enable virt:8.3 -y`
# yum module list
Name Stream Profiles Summary
virt 8.3 [e] common [d] Virtualization module
5. Run `dnf upgrade`, libvirt, qemu-kvm can be upgraded to RHEL-AV 8.3.0 packages.
# dnf upgrade

Comment 1 Germano Veit Michel 2020-10-12 00:29:16 UTC

The installation docs [1] also say to enable AV and gives an example with 8.2. The instructions are clear but I'm afraid some customers may make a mistake and enable 8.2 instead of adjusting and enable 8.3.

If we are updating the docs, maybe also update the example?
