[ovirt-users] Re: move ovirt 4.3.9 to RHEL 8

thanks Gianluca for the well thought out response. I started over and tried to install RHEL 8 with ovirt 4.4. I ran into a few problems, which may be related. First was that the module javapackages-tools could not be found. # yum module enable javapackages-tools Updating Subscription Management repositories. Last metadata expiration check: 0:17:45 ago on Fri 29 Jan 2021 07:02:20 PM CST. Error: Problems in request: missing groups or modules: javapackages-tools Then, the install of ovirt-engine relies on apache-commons-compress, but no version could pass module filtering.
