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-virtualization-manager

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-manager/#:~:text=Oracle%20Linux%20Virtualization%20Manager%20is%20a%20server%20virtualization,environment%20with%20enterprise-grade%20performance%20and%20support%20from%20Oracle.

Are useful though for setup and it’s all free.

Kind regards

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 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, but it's a little bit outdated and is about OLVM 4.2 + OEL 7 .

Happy Hollidays!
