Unfortunately vdsm (the core package for ovirt host) does not have ovirt-prefix. Which version do you have? ...
Just in case:

This package requires qemu-img >= 5.2.0 Maybe the requirement is broken (missing epoch).
What does "qemu-img --version" tell?
# qemu-img --version qemu-img version 4.2.0 (qemu-kvm-4.2.0- 48.module+el8.4.0+534+4680a14e) Copyright (c) 2003-2019 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers
During the installation itself, there were no errors/surprises. Everything went smoothly.
So vdsm spec is broken on Rocky, letting you install vdsm when the required qemu-kvm version is not available.
Can you file an ovirt/vdsm bug for this? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=vdsm
I tried to add a Rocky host to my setup and I can confirm that it works.
I create a new vm from: https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.4-x86_64-dvd...
Install ovirt-release44.rpm from: https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
And added the host to my engine (4.4.8 master). The host was installed and activated, and can runs.
I found that migrating vms from other hosts (qemu-6.0, libvirt 7.4) does not work. I think this issue was already reported here and fix is expected from libvirt soon.
However I do get the the *right* version of qemu-kvm, provided by:
[root@rocky1 ~]# dnf info qemu-kvm Last metadata expiration check: 18:02:00 ago on Tue 13 Jul 2021 02:37:31 AM IDT. Installed Packages Name : qemu-kvm Epoch : 15 Version : 5.2.0 Release : 16.el8 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 0.0 Source : qemu-kvm-5.2.0-16.el8.src.rpm Repository : @System From repo : ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization
[root@rocky1 ~]# grep -A2 ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-4.4-dependencies.repo [ovirt-4.4-advanced-virtualization] name=Advanced Virtualization packages for $basearch mirrorlist= http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?arch=$basearch&release=8&repo=virt-advanced-virtualization
So oVirt is ready to rock on Rocky with little help from Centos :-)
I'm not sure about the future of the ovirt-4.4-advanced- virtualization repository after Centos 8 will be discontinued, so this does not look like production ready yet.
The advanced virtualization packages are likely needed by other virtualization systems (openstack, proxmox, ...) or anyone that wants to consume the latest features from libvirt and qemu, so packing it in oVirt is not the right solution.

So some good news on the adv. virt front -- My colleague Louis has informed me that the module is actually already staged for build & import in Distrobuild with some passing builds in Koji & MBS. https://distrobuildstg.rockylinux.org/packages/3424 I have no ETA on when those will be available in repos, and is 110% being put back until we have Secure Boot completed, but it's a start! You can see the MBS link in the Builds column for logs & info from our MBS instance, and r8-stream-rhel is a link to the RPM sources in our Gitlab. Good progress! If someone would go ahead and verify that the package versions in here match what oVirt needs, that'd give us some sense of assurance that we're poking the right bear, so to speak haha -- - Hayden, Rocky Team Lead
