Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 743938
Make rhev-hypervisor RPM multi-installable like the kernel
Last modified: 2012-08-10 08:37:54 EDT
+++ 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

New Contents: Previously, you could not run side-by-side installations of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor. Now, you can allow side-by-side installations of the hypervisor 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 looking at the installonlypkgs option.
