Hello Simon,

would you be so kind and explain me, why OLVM is so far behind RHV or oVirt?

we’re working on our own libvirt/qemu releases for OL8 (actually available under dev channels) to then introduce OLVM 4.4.


It would be also great to know, if you backport fixes from oVirt 4.3.7+ back to OLVM 4.3.6?

We have errata-releases and bugs fixed into that.
BTW, yep we did some backport(s) and we also added one fix we pushed to oVirt 4.4 related to storage management (I do not remember now the details).

I have seen, that there are some newer packages on your repo server for 4.3.6, which seem newer than the oVirt release, but I haven't find any release notes of your versions.

You can see them on our Errata website:

I think oracle is not a solution. if they do the same with oracle Linux like java one year ago. that you can't use it in company's it will be a wast of time to move to oracle.

I admit that Oracle's reputation is not best ... but I guess if they do take such approach - we can always migrate to Springade/Rocky Linux/Lenix ..
After all , OLVM is new tech for Oracle and they want more users to start using it (and later switch to paid subscription). 

I think that it's worth testing.

@Simon,

do you have any idea if there will be any issues migrating from CentOS 7 + oVirt 4.3.10 to OEL 8 + OLVM (once the 4.4 is available ) ?

I do not expect particular issues; for OL we’re also working to the pure OL7 to OL8 upgrade process.
BTW, I tested more times the moving from CentOS 7 to OL7 / oVirt to OLVM on 4.3 release.

I saw https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/getting-started-with-oracle-linux-virtualization-manager , but it's a little bit outdated and is about OLVM 4.2 + OEL 7 .

We’re now on OLVM 4.3.6+ (https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/announcing-oracle-linux-virtualization-manager-43) and working on latest maintenance release (on 4.3.10+).
The plan is to then work on OLVM 4.4 with OL8.

Simon
