[ovirt-users] Re: CentOS 8 is dead
I believe the support is the same as red hat and paid is available but oel and the ovirt
(olvm) is free as has been mentioned.
It’s currently on ovirt 4.3.6 and there is a bug or 2 with that as mentioned in the
comments on the press release
https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/announcing-oracle-linux-virtualiz...
They have not updated it to the later versions yet but are working on it. It is claimed
to be reworked slightly for better handling of the database vms. Though that’s not
confirmed.
I did have an issue with the self hosted engine vm deployment and as such it didn’t
deploy. One of the errors was that it claimed the host could not handle virtualisation or
something. Which was not true as running ovirt I was able to install the self hosted
engine vm fine.
Installation guides here
https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-man....
Are useful though for setup and it’s all free.
Kind regards
James

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, but it's a little bit outdated and is about OLVM 4.2 + OEL 7 .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