The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.10 , as of January 18th, 2022.
This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics, as compared to oVirt 4.3.
Please note that oVirt 4.4 only supports clusters and data centers with compatibility version 4.2 and above. If clusters or data centers are running with an older compatibility version, you need to upgrade them to at least 4.2 (4.3 is recommended).
Please note that in RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 several devices that worked on EL7 are no longer supported.
For example, the megaraid_sas driver is removed. If you use Enterprise Linux 8 hosts you can try to provide the necessary drivers for the deprecated hardware using the DUD method (See the users’ mailing list thread on this at https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/NDSVUZSESOXEFJNPHOXUH4HOOWRIRSB4/ )
If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download page.
For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation.
For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide.
For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt.
This update is the ninth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series.
