Strahil's suggestion is to use the backup and restore function of the
ovirt engine by essentially putting host into maintenance i.e. shutting
down all VMs and the hosted engine, upgrading the host using the
repositories to the latest ovirt version and then deploying the new
version hosted engine 'as new' but restoring from previous version
backup. This may fall apart if there's a backup incompatibility between
2 versions but minor versions would be OK.

The reply button is taking me to a "mailto" tab again, but hopefully
making the subject the same, will put this under the right thread? If
not, I'm not sure how to reply on the new system. The original thread
is here:

and it continues here for a bit:

> Have you thought about deploying HostedEngine and when you need to
update the engine -> put the host in maintenance -> backup & restore
The way I understand the update process, you can't update with a hosted
engine unless you have two hosts. One needs to run the engine VM, so
the other can go into maintenance. Is this wrong? For my use case, I'm
looking for something that'll work/update on a single host.
I'm trying to get the engine running next to the hypervisor, so it can
run when the VM's come down. I can get the engine running on a CentOS
Stream install, but it says it has 0/0 hosts running, so I don't think
it can deploy VM's. I can't find a way to install the node's hypervisor
package-set either. Unless that package exists, the only other idea I
have for this route is doing a "hosted engine" install, but destroy the
engine VM and point it to the local engine. This seems extreme to me
lol.
I tried setting up the engine on a node itself, but the error I can't
get past yet is in the second url, top of this message. It can't start
the ovirt-imageio service, because of a missing file.
Happy Holidays all!
Cameron
