Install / Upgrade from previous versions
Fedora / CentOS / RHEL
In order to install it on a clean system, you need to install
# yum localinstall http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release36.rpm
If you are upgrading from a previous version, you may have the ovirt-release35 package already installed on your system. You can then install ovirt-release36.rpm as in a clean install side-by-side.
Once ovirt-release36 package is installed, you will have the ovirt-3.6 stable repository and any other repository needed for satisfying dependencies enabled by default.
If you are upgrading from oVirt < 3.5.0, you must first upgrade to oVirt 3.5.6. Please see oVirt 3.5.6 Release Notes for upgrade instructions.
For upgrading now you just need to execute:
# yum update "ovirt-engine-setup*"
