Greetings. In a multi-hypervisor environment, we are running Centos 7.7.1908, with
ovirt-4.3. There are problems adding a new hypervisor, because all the yum resources have
switched in favor of newer versions.
Is there a proceedure to add a hypervisor under the oVirt Virtualization manager while
retaining an older, known working OS version like Centos 7.7.1908 ? Upgrading everything
across the board isn't an immediate option. There are many VMs and hypervisors in
production, and can't be disturbed.
In sum: is it still possible to install known working 4.30.33-1.el7? All that is presented
now is 4.30.46-1.el7
I ran: yum install vdsm-4.30.33-1.el7.x86_64. This completed. However, when I tried to add
the resulting hypservisor using the oVirt web UI, that fails. Logs on that management
server showed that the install process insists on using 4.30.46-1.el7. Any way to avoid
this?
