Can you file an ovirt/vdsm bug for this? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=vdsm I tried to add a Rocky host to my setup and I can confirm that it works. I create a new vm from: https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.4-x86_64-... Install ovirt-release44.rpm from: https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm And added the host to my engine (4.4.8 master). The host was installed and activated, and can runs. I found that migrating vms from other hosts (qemu-6.0, libvirt 7.4) does not work. I think this issue was already reported here and fix is expected from libvirt soon. However I do get the the *right* version of qemu-kvm, provided by: [root@rocky1 ~]# dnf info qemu-kvm Last metadata expiration check: 18:02:00 ago on Tue 13 Jul 2021 02:37:31 AM IDT. Installed Packages Name : qemu-kvm Epoch : 15 Version : 5.2.0 Release : 16.el8 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 0.0 Source : qemu-kvm-5.2.0-16.el8.src.rpm Repository : @System From repo : ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization [root@rocky1 ~]# grep -A2 ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-4.4-dependencies.repo [ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization] name=Advanced Virtualization packages for $basearch mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=$basearch&release=8&... So oVirt is ready to rock on Rocky with little help from Centos :-) I'm not sure about the future of the ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization repository after Centos 8 will be discontinued, so this does not look like production ready yet. The advanced virtualization packages are likely needed by other virtualization systems (openstack, proxmox, ...) or anyone that wants to consume the latest features from libvirt and qemu, so packing it in oVirt is not the right solution.
