I just inherited an oVirt cluster at work that's running 3.2 on

things without a system-wide downtime.
1. no downtime should happen, as you can upgrade hosts by moving
them to maintenance, which will live migrate VMs running on them.
2. fedora 18 is EOL, so 'yum update' isn't going to help here.
3. re-install host should refresh vdsm and its dependent packages if
the repo's configured have newer versions. when the host is in
maint, you can simply run 'yum update' on the host, then
re-activate it (of course reboot if kernel got updated, etc.)
I've followed those steps, and I can get VMs migrated *to* the updated
nodes. I have two worries:
1. VMs migrated to the updated nodes cannot be migrated back to the
old nodes. So once I start, it's all-in or nothing. Is that to be
expected?
2. Once all the nodes are backed up, is there a fairly sure-fire way
to update the master engine? Is that documented somewhere?
Thanks!
