by Christoph Köhler 01 Oct '25

Dear all, Is there a ready-made stream 10 appliance for engine-deploy that we can use for deployment? And if so, could there be any problems with concurrent use of rocky 9 hosts? We would choose the master snapshot. Greetings from Christoph

Congratulation to the team for the effort. I will be nice to see this product evolve.

Dear Sirs, While using virtualization system Ovirt our company meets a bug in the Snapshoot removal service. When trying to delete Snapshoot in the VM with 2 disks the removal service got hung up and generated unavailability error. Just VM switch-off via request poweroff terminates a frozen process. Please let us know if you know about this bug and if you have any solutions to fix the bug.

Is oVirt a dead project ???
by Diggy Mc 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

Based on the lack of list activity and updates, I am starting to think oVirt is a dead project. I sure hope not. It is a great product. My two cents: Whomever at Red Hat decided to abandon RHEV is an idiot. j/s Does anyone know if Oracle plans to fund the oVirt project? I think it would be a great move on their part. I believe virtualization still has a future for years to come. If oVirt is a dead project, what is the next best choice enterprise virtualization? ProxMox? Microsoft Hypervisor? Something else? Feedback is appreciated because I manage/recommend virtualization solutions for several small- and medium-sized companies.

Hi all! There hasn't been a new release for almost two years... Someone should say something, but not empty promises.
