2.4. Upgrading the Manager from 4.1 to 4.2

Procedure

1. Enable the Red Hat Virtualization 4.2 repositories:

   # subscription-manager repos \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4.2-manager-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-manager-tools-rpms \
       --enable=jb-eap-7-for-rhel-7-server-rpms \
       --enable=rhel-7-server-ansible-2.9-rpms

   All other repositories remain the same across Red Hat Virtualization releases.

2. Update the setup packages:

   # yum update ovirt\*setup\*

3. Run engine-setup and follow the prompts to upgrade the Red Hat Virtualization Manager:

   # engine-setup

   Note

   If you changed the default trust keystore password, you might get a keystore certificate error. If so, update the configuration to reflect the correct password. For more information, see RHV 4.2 - Failed to import provider certificate into the external provider keystore

4. Disable the Red Hat Virtualization 4.1 repositories to ensure the system does not use any 4.1 packages:

   # subscription-manager repos \
       --disable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4.1-rpms \
       --disable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4.1-manager-rpms \
       --disable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4-tools-rpms \
       --disable=jb-eap-7.0-for-rhel-7-server-rpms \
       --disable=jb-eap-7.1-for-rhel-7-server-rpms

5. Update the base operating system:

   # yum update

6. Reboot the machine.
