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-release34.rpm

If you’re upgrading from a previous version you should have ovirt-release package already installed on your system.

You can then install ovirt-release34.rpm as in a clean install side-by-side.

If you’re upgrading from oVirt 3.4.0 you can now remove ovirt-release package:

  # yum remove ovirt-release

and then just execute:

  # yum update "ovirt-engine-setup*"
  # engine-setup

If you’re upgrading from 3.3.2 or later, keep ovirt-release rpm in place until the upgrade is completed. See oVirt 3.4.0 release notes for upgrading from previous versions.

oVirt Live

A new oVirt Live ISO is available:

http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.4/iso/ovirt-live-el6-3.4.4.iso

  • Run vm with odd number of cores drop libvirt error
  • Duplicated CD device when creating VMs from the blank template
  • Executing multiple “template.delete” commands in parallel to “vm.delete” commands, creates a race condition which cause the Blank template to be removed from Data Center
  • [Neutron integration] Custom device properties are not passed to vdsm
  • [rhevm] unable to create template from Windows 2012 guest with SPICE videocard in RHEV 3.4

  • ovirt-engine should not store long term files in “/var/tmp/ovirt-engine/”
  • Violating hard constraint positive Affinity rule can prevent fixing the violated rule forever
  • ovirt-engine currently sets the disk device to “lun” for all virtio-scsi direct LUN connections and disables read-only for these devices
  • [engine-backend] [iSCSI multipath] It’s possible to remove a network from the setup even though it participates in an iSCSI multipath bond
  • [engine-backend] [iSCSI multipath] No indication that updating an iSCSI multipath bond doesn’t trigger any operation from vdsm side
  • Odd vCPU topology dropped by libvirt
  • [engine-backend] [iscsi multipath] After networks replacement in an iSCSI multipath bond had failed, the bond’s networks aren’t being updated back
  • No link to VMs sub-collections under affinitygroups
  • engine-backup fails if bzip2 is not installed
  • Could not import a VM from export domain with raw sparse disks to a block storage domain
  • update supported PPC cpu to power8
  • Can’t change a vm disk’s storage domain from a file domain to a block domain when creating a template from a vm
  • Failed to remove host xxxxxxxx
  • Cannot export VM. Disk configuration (COW Preallocated) is incompatible with the storage domain type.
  • [Windows sysprep] Run Once: Special characters are not encoded in XML sysprep files for Windows 7, 8, 2008, 2012
  • Adding networks to an Iscsi Bond will remove all the other existing networks in this IscsiBond and replace them with the new added network
  • Fix operations of add,remove and list for StorageConnections in iSCSI Bond
