Install / Upgrade from previous versions

Fedora / CentOS / RHEL

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you’re upgrading from a previous version please update ovirt-release to latest version (10) and ensure you’ve ovirt-3.3.3 and ovirt-stable repository enabled.

  # yum update ovirt-release
  # yum repolist enabled

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.3, you should just execute:

  # yum update ovirt-engine-setup
  # engine-setup

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.2, you should read oVirt 3.2 to 3.3 upgrade

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.1, you should upgrade to 3.2 before upgrading to 3.3.3. Please read oVirt 3.1 to 3.2 upgrade before starting the upgrade. On CentOS and RHEL: For upgrading to 3.2 you’ll need the 3.2 stable repository. So, the first step is disable 3.3 / stable repository and enable 3.2 in /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt.repo:

  [ovirt-32]
  name=Stable builds of the oVirt 3.2 project
  baseurl=https://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.2/rpm/EL/$releasever/
  enabled=1
  skip_if_unavailable=1
  gpgcheck=0

Then

  # yum update ovirt-engine-setup

should install ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm if you have already updated to 3.3.x please use distro-sync or downgrade instead of update. Then:

  # engine-upgrade

this will upgrade your system to latest 3.2. Once you’ve all working on 3.2, enable 3.3/stable repository, then just

  # yum update ovirt-engine-setup
  # engine-setup

will upgrade to latest 3.3.
