Upgrade from OLVM 4.3 to 4.5

We are currently running KVM hosts with OLVM 4.3 (OL7). This is set up as 2 Datacenters each containing a single 2 node cluster.

I have new hosts which I have installed OL8 and want to move from OLVM 4.3 to 4.5 by migrating the VMs on to the new hosts.

My thoughts were to install OLVM 4.4 (or 4.5 if possible as below) on the new OL8 hosts, add them to the same Clusters as the 4.3 KVM hosts with the storage presented to all the servers. I would then shutdown the VMs when I can get outages, and start them on the new hosts.

I have upgraded the engine from 4.3 to 4.4 and it is managing the 4.3 hosts. I have not updated the Datacenter or Cluster compatibility from 4.3 as yet.
