I have 4.4 and currently on host:
qemu-kvm-4.1.0-23.el8.1.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-5.6.0-10.el8.x86_64
Too old, you need RHEL 8.2, best RHEL 8.2.1 nightly build.
Using ovirt-release-master.rpm:
dnf install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release-master.rpm
You should get newer enough libvirt and qemu on CentOS 8.1, but it is not tested
with incremental backup.
It should work on Fedora 30 host, but Fedora 30 is EOL now. New enough
libvirt and
qemu are available in Fedora 31 and 32 (using virt-preview repo), but
installing oVirt
there is a challenge and I don't think anyone tested it yet.
Possibly needed sw pieces will be only in 4.4.1?
4.4.1 will include important fixes and new features in oVirt, but it
will not help with libvirt
and qemu.
