Hello all,
Has anyone used oVirt with non-oVirt provided QEMU versions?
I need a feature provided by upstream QEMU, but it is disabled in the oVirt/CentOS7 QEMU
RPM.
I have two possible methods to avoid the issue:
1. Fedora has a more recent QEMU which is closer to 'stock'. I see that oVirt 4.2
has no Fedora support,
Indeed, mostly
but is it possible to install the host onto a Fedora machine?
Didn't try this recently, but it might require not-too-much work with
fc25 or so.
IIRC fc27 is python3-only, and this will require more work (which is
ongoing, but
don't hold your breath).
I am trying to use the master branch rpms as recommended in the
"No Fedora Support" note with no luck currently.
Another option is to try to rebuild the fedora srpm for CentOS 7.
2. Is it safe/sensible to use oVirt with a CentOS7 host running an
upstream QEMU version?
No idea. If it's only for development/testing, I'd say give it a try.
Thanks,
Harry
