So does Fedora 16 have an Ovirt 3.1 repo?  It seems best way to do
this correct me if I am wrong:
No.  There are no Fedora 16 Repo's

1. Uninstall 3.0
2. engine-cleanup do not drop database
3. Reinstall

Good to go right?  Will this mess with vm's already running etc.
Pretty certain this will break things badly.

The un-test but the way that should work is.

Uninstall oVirt 3.0 do not engine-clean
Upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17.
Add the beta repo's
yum clean all
Yum install ovirt-engine
Run enginue-upgrade and follow it instructions


Has anyone else tested this? I just tried it on a test rig of F16 running 3.0, upgrading to 3.1 beta on F17. All the steps completed fine, except that I had to remove ovirt-engine-jbossas, which conflicted with the new, from Fedora, jboss-as, before installing ovirt-engine 3.1.

After engine-upgrade completed, I wasn't able to access the engine. Jboss-as was stopped, as was httpd. Starting them up didn't make the engine accessible, though. I just got the default fedora pages for JBoss and for Apache.

On my own oVirt setup, I moved from 3.0 to 3.1 by moving my VMs and templates to my export domain, detaching my export and iso domains, and installing 3.1 from scratch, before importing my iso and export domains and ferrying my VMs and templates over to my new data domain.

What's the most sane upgrade advice we can offer to oVirt 3.0 users?

Since I was stuck at the DMV all day I haven't had a change to test
these instructions at all before doing these steps I would do a full
backup of the DB and a snapshot of the system.  If you can clone the
system and do these steps on a clone even better.

Thanks
Robert

    Testing is just getting started.  We have an idea of the steps but
    no one has actually done them to see if the upgrade works or not.
