Hi Andrei, ovirt 4.4+ has to run with centos/ rhel 8, I would not recommend mix versions of ovirt node version within one cluster. (there couldbe / will be a problem with vdsm version on each node) And yes cluster compatibility version number doesn't match ovirt version. I would recommend to try to remove the oldest node from the cluster (if upu have some spare nodes) and try to reinstall it to centos 8 or 9 with standalone engine for test if it works or not.

Hi, you are mixing 2 unrelated versioning parts: 1. Supported cluster levels     - oVirt Engine 4.5 supports cluster level 4.2 - 4.7 https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/master/backend/manager/modules...     - This means that both EL7 based (4.2 and 4.3) and EL8 based (4.4-4.7) hosts can be successfully managed by oVirtEngine 4.5 2. OS requirements of oVirt Engine 4.5     - oVirt Engine 4.5 is supported only on EL 8.6+ and CS8 stream     - This means that:         - for standalone engine you need to have a machine with EL8.6 or CS8         - for hosted engine you need to have a cluster with EL8.6 or CS8 hosts, where hosted engine VM based on E8.6 or CS8 can run So specifically for your use case you need: 1. Standalone engine 4.5 running on EL8.6 or CS8, which can manage 4.2 hosts in 4.2 cluster 2. Hosted engine 4.5 running on cluster of EL8.6 or CS8 hosts with additional (different) 4.2 cluster, where your 4.2 hosts reside Regards, Martin On Mon, Aug 29, 2022 at 2:43 PM Jirka Simon <jirka(a)vesim.cz&gt; wrote: Hi Andrei, ovirt 4.4+ has to run with centos/ rhel 8, I would not recommend mix versions of ovirt node version within one cluster.

Hi, As mentioned to run oVirt Engine 4.5 you need at least on EL8.6 or CS8 machine. Then you can create DataCenter with compatibility level 4.2, where you can create 4.2 cluster.
