So with the latest updates to Ovirt and CentOS 8 Stream it seems that you either can not
install cockpit-ovirt-dashboard, or if you do, it downgrades cockpit-bridge and
cockpit-system. You then end up not showing up to date on these hosts on Open
Virtualization Manager and can only get back to a fully updated datacenter by doing a yum
update --allowerasing which then removes cockpit-ovirt-dashboard.
My main concern is now that the command line hosted-engine commands have been removed, if
the hosted engine is not running for some reason you have no visibility into what is going
on since the regular cockpit host interface will not show the virtualization features.
You can't put a host in maintenance or start the engine manually.
