[ovirt-users] Re: Upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 fails with db or user ovirt_engine_history already exists
Hi wilderink＠triplon.nl Could you please share the steps that you usage to do the upgrade from oVirt 4.3.x to 4.4.x ? I dont get success in my previous tests, once the current oVirt documentation show the steps to Upgrade from Standalone Engine and not Hosted Engine.

[ovirt-users] Re: Upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 fails with db or user ovirt_engine_history already exists
Hi Didi, I don't know. We are were running the same oVirt instance since 2017 and updated it a lot of times, including solving some bugs/problems during the years. The user was set on the 'vm_device_history'-table and the 'disk_vm_device_history_seq' sequence. Maybe we did it ourselves, but I couldn't find anything about it in our logs. Since we are new here: After this problem, we ran into some other problems. Do you want me to post an article about it, including the steps we have taken to solve them? We got stuck on the latest problem, and we stopped our upgrade to 4.4 for now, but it could be related to the other thread about Storage Domains. Running the upgrade and accessing the 4.4 GUI before continuing (you can set this option at the beginning), we are unable to update any OVF Disks (automatically or forced), and the active SPM host keeps resetting (also after changing it to the new 4.4 host). It does not matter if we try to update an existing SD, the old hosted engine domain, or add a new one (NFS or Gluster). When we ignore the problem, the installation fails when it checks the health of the new hosted engine domain. Restarting the old HE again, and the problem is (luckily) solved and not permanent - so I guess it is a HE 4.4 specific problem. I analyzed the logs but couldn't find anything that made sense (on the host, HE VM, or another 4.3 host running SPM). The error(s): - Failed to update VMs/Templates OVF data for storage domain XX in Data Center Default - Failed to update OVF disks xGUIDx, xGUIDx, OVF data isn't updated on those OVF stores (Data Center Default, Storage domain XX) The error disappeared on most SDs (except the old HE domain, or any new added one) when we force an OVF update via the 4.3 GUI (before starting the upgrade). The old HE VM was turned off (and the platform set to global maintenance) before we started the upgrade. ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/5EQQTY6QTDRP4RHGFSEM5LS46ZQ4UGO4/

Any idea how this happened (history user having permissions on engine db table)?

A small update: After checking the back-upped database structure (searching for 'ovirt_engine_history' inside the 'engine' database), we found that the ovirt_engine_history user was also having permissions to a table in the engine database, probably causing the user to be created before the restoration of the history database took place. After removing the user permissions in the active environment (4.3) we were able to bypass this problem. ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/47EU4UMPPMSBIDOEOGGWNJLADIK5DPXE/
