Fixed In Version:	is1
Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	With this update, the ovirt-engine configuration file located in /etc/sysconfig/ has been migrated to /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf. This is because the configuration file is not only used by the ovirt-engine service, but by other tools as well, and because the /etc/sysconfig/ directory is not common in distributions other than Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Description Alon Bar-Lev 2013-03-04 06:35:54 EST

commit 5a314140abbb813b7da1792af8a0587893beb93f
Author: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 27 09:47:35 2013 +0100

    packaging: Use engine.conf for local configuration
    
    This change moves the content of the /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine file to
    the /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf file. The reason for this is that this
    file is not only used by the service, but also by other tools, and in
    other Linux distributions the sysconfig directory is not common.

Comment 1 Martin Pavlik 2013-05-30 10:23:17 EDT

Any suggestion how to test this?

(In reply to Martin Pavlik from comment #1)
> Any suggestion how to test this?

During installation from scratch the /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine file shouldn't have any content. All the configuration parameters should instead go in the /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf file or inside files in /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d directory.

During upgrade the parameters in /etc/sysconfig/ovirt-engine should be moved to the /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf directory.
