How to install an older version of oVirt engine?
Hello all, just curious if anyone knows we can install an older version of oVirt engine? We have the latest 4.4.9, is there a way to install 4.4.7 instead? Thank you.

There is no official/tested/supported way. The repos do generally contain all released versions of each package, so nothing prevents you from installing specific versions. We maintain the list of packages' versions used per oVirt release in the git/gerrit repo 'releng-tools'. Best regards, -- Didi
Hello. If you want to use an installation file of a previous version you need to install the package ovirt-engine-appliance-4.4-xxxx.rpm. You can use the command "yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el8/x86_64/ovirt-engine-applia..." to do this. You can go to the link to see all possible package options: "https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el8/x86_64" Keep in mind - this can only help with deployment problems. The final version of the installation will still be the last one.

Indeed, for hosted-engine deployments. Thanks.

You can prevent the deployment process from upgrading using offline mode: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1851860#c1 Best regards, -- Didi
Hello, Make your own local repo with needed version (OS and oVirt). Point virtualization nodes to it and install. Due to different reasons I still keep local repo of CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) and oVirt-4.2. This solution requires additional knowledge on creating local repos. Thank you!
