[ovirt-users] Re: Old and new hardware mix
As oVirt 4.4.X is using EL8 , you just need to install it with CentOS8 and check if
everything goes well. I know that some old hardware was deprecated , but elrepo repository
helps alot in such cases.

Hi All,
I've just joined the mailing list as my organisation needs a new virtualisation
solution. VMware is prohibitively expensive for a small company like ours and of all the
opensource solutions, oVirt looks like the best fit for our needs.
Our existing virtual infrastructure is primarily made up of an old vSphere 5 cluster
(expired license on old and out of warranty hardware) and a couple of newer standalone
(free) ESXi servers. Both the cluster and the standalones have shared NFS storage so I
can move VMs around.
I want to take a couple of older (2014ish) servers which will serve as the management host
and one compute node initially. Then, I'd like to migrate VMs from one vSphere host
at a time to the newly created oVirt cluster and convert the now empty vSphere ESXi hosts
into oVirt compute nodes as I go.
Firstly - Would new compute host hardware (2020) work in a (2014) based ovirt cluster?
If so
Would I be able to take advantage of the more advanced features of ovirt like live
migration etc.. with a mix of new and old hardware
Thanks
