oVirt 4.4 End Of Life

Hi, as usual, when a new oVirt release gets out, the previous one reaches the end of life. As of April 20th 2022 with oVirt 4.5.0 GA, oVirt 4.4 reached End Of Life, last release being 4.4.10.2 async release shipped live on March 03, 2022. Please upgrade to 4.5 as soon as practical in order to get further security and bug fixes updates. Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo@redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

Hi Sandro, I thought I had read somewhere on the list a few weeks ago that Gluster was having problems with 4.5 and that it wasn't going to be supported. Did I misundersand? I recall a few months ago that the announcement was made to deprecate Gluster anyway, but I don't think the original plan was to remove support for it until later, but that due to some package dependencies, it needed to go away in 4.5. I was hoping to get all of my storage migrated onto Synology hardware later this year prior to upgraded to 4.5, but if Gluster is still supported and will work, perhaps I should go ahead and upgrade. I'm open to feedback.Posting to the list, as I'm sure others are in the same scenario as me.

Gluster ansible roles for deploying new hyperconverged setups are currently broken due to the lack of the packaging of a few collections on the gluster side. They're working on it, I think they'll fix that soon. For existing setups, upgrades should work just fine. About the support for Gluster, the Gluster community didn't announce any planned EOL for the project so as long as it's maintained there's no reason to remove it from oVirt. Downstream wise, RHGS announced EOL in 2024 so for RHV, Red Hat is deprecating Gluster as storage to be used for storage domains. This would mean the community should help testing Gluster with oVirt to keep it working as Red Hat is lowering the effort on testing it.
I recall a few months ago that the announcement was made to deprecate Gluster anyway, but I don't think the original plan was to remove support for it until later, but that due to some package dependencies, it needed to go away in 4.5.
We had to drop the roles in oVirt Node due to broken dependencies but that was fixed and it's back in for 4.5.0 GA.
I was hoping to get all of my storage migrated onto Synology hardware later this year prior to upgraded to 4.5, but if Gluster is still supported and will work, perhaps I should go ahead and upgrade.

Anyone who can provide feedback on this scenario?

May I be so impertinent and ask for an ETA? :D

We are planning on building a hyper-converged cluster from scratch because we planned and bought the hardware before the announcement from Red Hat. We're glad to hear that there are no plans to remove Gluster from oVirt. On 4/20/22 18:43, Sandro Bonazzola wrote:

We are working on it,it's a huge task to make it compatible with ansible-core. We are targeting to provide upstream builds in the next 2 weeks.

Hi Gobinda, how can I help ? I had some experience with Gluster's Ansible roles. By the way, which repo are we using for the new Ansible ?

Thanks for your interest. We are almost there.If anything needed will let you know.
I had some experience with Gluster's Ansible roles.
By the way, which repo are we using for the new Ansible ?
We are using the same repos, now we are changing all gluster ansible modules and other lv,pv,vg modules to make them compatible with ansible-core.We are almost there and now we are testing all use cases.
