oVirt 4.4.0 Beta release refresh is now available for testing
oVirt 4.4.0 Beta release refresh is now available for testing The oVirt Project is excited to announce the availability of the beta release of oVirt 4.4.0 refresh (beta 4) for testing, as of April 17th, 2020 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 on top of oVirt 4.3. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a Beta release. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not to be used in production. In particular, please note that upgrades from 4.3 and future upgrades from this beta to the final 4.4 release from this version are not supported. Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 but can’t be tested on RHEL 8.2 beta yet due to some incompatibility in openvswitch package shipped in CentOS Virt SIG which requires to rebuild openvswitch on top of CentOS 8.2. Known Issues - ovirt-imageio development is still in progress. In this beta you can’t upload images to data domains using the engine web application. You can still copy iso images into the deprecated ISO domain for installing VMs or upload and download to/from data domains is fully functional via the REST API and SDK. For uploading and downloading via the SDK, please see: - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/upload_di... - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/download_... Both scripts are standalone command line tool, try --help for more info. Installation instructions For the engine: either use appliance or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86... - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps postgresql:12 - dnf install ovirt-engine - engine-setup For the nodes: Either use oVirt Node ISO or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86... ; select minimal installation - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - Attach the host to engine and let it be deployed. What’s new in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta? - Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning RHEL8), for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts - Easier network management and configuration flexibility with NetworkManager - VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI firmware - Support for direct passthrough of local host disks to VMs - Live migration improvements for High Performance guests. - New Windows Guest tools installer based on WiX framework now moved to VirtioWin project - Dropped support for cluster level prior to 4.2 - Dropped SDK3 support - 4K disks support only for file based storage. iSCSI/FC storage do not support 4k disks yet. - Exporting a VM to a data domain - Editing of floating disks - Integrating ansible-runner into engine, which allows a more detailed monitoring of playbooks executed from engine - Adding/reinstalling hosts are now completely based on Ansible - The OpenStack Neutron Agent cannot be configured by oVirt anymore, it should be configured by TripleO instead This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.1 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed. If you manage more than one oVirt instance, OKD or RDO we also recommend to try ManageIQ <http://manageiq.org/>. In such a case, please be sure to take the qc2 image and not the ova image.

Hello, I have tried the iso of ovirt node ng to configure a single host HCI environment. Using the wizard for single node, at the beginning in the window where you have to insert the fqdn of the storage node I see a javascript exception (a red Ooops! in top right of cockpit page tells me that). Both on Google Chrome and in firefox. In practice you cannot type anything and in js console of chrome I see: app.js:43 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'checked' of null at n.value (app.js:43) at changeCallBack (app.js:43) at Object.b (app.js:27) at w (app.js:27) at app.js:27 at S (app.js:27) at T (app.js:27) at Array.forEach (<anonymous>) at _ (app.js:27) at N (app.js:27) Sort of workaround is to type a character (you don't see anything), then click the ipv6 related checkbox just above the input line, and then you see the first character, then again, alternating the checkbox and a character.... you see every time appear the new character typed. You cannot type the full fqdn in one flow because only the last character appears then when you click on the checkbox... This anyway let me continue and type the whole storage hostname and go ahead with the installation. I arrive up to the final step "Finish Deployment", but when the host exits final global maintenance and the engine VM starts, it goes into panic and I realized that I missed the pass-through cpu flag for the hypervisor vm, so I'm going to retry. In the mean time can anyone verify the javascript exception above? Gianluca

We have patch available and the respective BZ is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1825748 , The fix will be included in next build.

hi everyone, I'm just about to go on a ride with oVirt and there that one question that I have after little fiddling - Centos8. Does oVirt test & run on c8 Stream? I'm on c8Stream and I wonder if all conflicts of rpms I see are because oVirt is not tested nor recommended for Centos Stream? many thanks, L.
