Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, you could not run side-by-side installations of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. Now, side-by-side installations of the Hypervisor are facilitated by configuring yum to make rhev-hypervisor an install-only package. Edit the yum.conf file and add the installonlypkgs option: [main] ... installonlypkgs=rhev-hypervisor This option also needs to include the default list of install-only packages, which you can find by running the 'man yum.conf' command and searching for the installonlypkgs option.

Description Perry Myers 2011-10-06 14:21:48 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #740565 +++

Description of problem:
Right now each install of RHEVH ISO overwrites the previous one.  We should make rhev-hypervisor install slotted so that each ISO is named like:

rhev-hypervisor-NVR.iso

and is placed in /usr/share/rhev-hypervisor

Then /usr/share/rhev-hypervisor/rhev-hypervisor.iso becomes symlink to last installed ISO

This will allow RHEVM to utilize the /usr/share/rhev-hypervisor directory directly as an ISO archive for their ISO uploader funtionality

This option also needs to include the default list of install-only packages, which you can find by running the man yum.conf command and looking at the installonlypkgs option.
