What channels should be used for RHV 4.2 EUS?

Resolution

  • RHV 4.2 EUS is available for x86 systems only. EUS for POWER systems is planned, but not yet supported.
  • RHV 4.2 EUS is available for x86 hypervisors only, both RHEL based and RHVH.
  • There is no EUS for the engine, instead the 4.3 engine should be used, with cluster Compatibility Level(CL) 4.2.

For RHEL based hosts, this is the list of channels required to get RHV 4.2 EUS updates:

# subscription-manager release --set=7.6
# subscription-manager repos --disable=* \
     --enable=rhel-7-server-eus-rpms \   [!]
     --enable=rhel-7-server-rhv-4.2-mgmt-agent-eus-rpms
     --enable=rhel-7-server-ansible-2.7-rpms
# yum clean all
# rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*

[!] Since RHEL 7.6 is not in the EUS phase yet, use regular channel for RHEL: rhel-7-server-rpms. And when the time comes, switch to EUS one. Locking the release to 7.6 will prevent the host getting 7.7 packages, with or without EUS channels.

For RHVH:

# subscription-manager repos --disable=* \
     --enable=rhel-7-server-rhvh-4.2-eus-rpms

Note: There is no connection between Ansible installed on engine and Ansible installed on hosts. When Ansible 2.8 is installed on engine and you execute a playbook on that machine, which should be executed on the host, Ansible process copies all requires files from engine to host and don't use Ansible files installed on the host at all.
