I have inherited the admin duty to maintain a a small oVirt cluster featuring 2 nodes
running oVirt 4.5.4 based on the CentOS Stream (using the official Node ISOs) running on
physical machines, including a hosted engine. Sadly, the documentation is a bit on the
"light side" and the official oVirt documentation can be overwhelming at times.
As CentOS Stream 8 is no longer supported we would like to migrate the nodes to either
CentOS Stream 9 using the NG node ISOs or to Rocky Linux 9 - but I guess using the
official ISOs seems like the smoothest path. Still, I would like to know what the general
steps are to migrate without setting up a entirely fresh cluster.
Is it possible to migrate by setting up an CentOS Stream 9 node in the existing cluster
and to deploy a new engine from there?
Is it possible to migrate VMs without downtime in this process?
Ideally, does anyone have some kind of step-by-step guide to get from CentOS Stream 8 to 9
using the oVirt Node ISOs?
Or is it possible to upgrade the existing nodes to CentOS Stream 9 and deploy a new hosted
engine from there without creating an entirely new node?
And yeah, I have already searched this list for answers
(

but that thread lacks some the mentioned details.
