UPDATE: Oracle KVM on OEL 7.7 sos-3.7-11 conflicts with vdsm-4.20.46 – FIXED in 4.3!

This weekend Oracle updated to oVirt 4.3, Yeah! See instruction below how to upgrade to oVirt 4.3 and if/when you version locked the sos package.

Oracle was still using oVirt Release 4.2 repositories for Oracle Linux 7.7. The vdsm-4.20.46 conflicted with sos 3.7-11 from the ‘latest’ Oracle Linux 7 repository, which features Oracle Linux 7.7, not 7.6.

The fix is in vdsm-4.30.something, from the oVirt 4.3 repo’s, and now they are offering it!

Adding a versionlock:

$ yum install yum-plugin-versionlock
$ yum versionlock sos
Adding versionlock on: 0:sos-3.6-19.0.1.el7_6

$ yum update
Excluding 1 update due to versionlock (use "yum versionlock status" to show it)

$ 0:yum versionlock status
sos-3.7-11.0.1.el7_7.*

Upgrade to oVirt 4.3

With sos still locked, do a yum update and the new oVirt repository will be installed, replacing the old 4.2 version:

$ yum update

Installing:
 oracle-ovirt-release-el7    x86_64    1.0-1.el7    ol7_latest    15 k
