Hello Michal,
Yes was running official RHEL 8.4 on my hosts and have also tried with Rocky.
Unfortunately I've already started running into broken dependencies when using the
CentOS Stream Advanced Virtualization repos with RHEL. Since oVirt is now targeting Stream
and packages are being pushed there, are RHEL and other EL8 clones not going to be
supported by oVirt? Thank you.
They are, and will be, supported, but it's lagging a bit behind Stream. The exact lag
depends on how far are we from the next minor version. 4.4.9 will work on 8.5, there will
be RHEL 8.5 and RHEL clones 8.5 soon, but there's not going to be CentOS 8.5,
considering there's <2 months until CentOS EOL.
So..for oVirt 4.4.9 you can say it's supported only on Stream. And It will be
supported very soon on RHEL/clone.
That said it will be probably a bit shaky once Stream 9 gets more traction. We will try to
move to it whenever it starts working. And for that time until RHEL 9 releases there might
be again some issues with RHELs.
Thanks,
michal

digging, I found that the version of libvirt that it's looking for (libvirt >=
7.6.0-2) is not in the CentOS 8 Advanced Virt repo, but is only in the CentOS Stream
Advanced Virt repo.

there will not be since Stream tracks just behind the next EL point release), however I
was able to get past the error by adding the 8-stream Advanced Virt repo to my systems by
creating the repo file below. It would be nice if a developer could respond and advise if
this is a "safe" solution, or if this is a known problem that they expect to
address?
Hi,
qemu/libvirt packages are now being pushed to Stream, CentOS is supposedly EOL in 2
months. Currently there's not much of a difference and if packages are installed
happily then it likely works just fine, but with the upcoming RHEL 8.5 release it is
unlikely CentOS would be updated to 8.5, so I'm afraid CentOS based systems won't
last for too long. It would be best to move to Stream entirely, or use ovirt-node (as a
snapshot of packages that work), or move to RHEL or RHEL clones.
Thanks,
michal
