Do the fedora upgrade 4. install ovirt-engine rpms 5. run engine-setup - Give same passwords to the DB/admin user in this case, engine-setup should upgrade the db, and not install it. we didn't tried this approach yet, so I'll appreciate any input. > > > > > > 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.
