Hello Did anyone managed to install oVirt on RHEL8? If so, Can you please guide me? I'm trying to install but it throws an error as "Failed to synchronize repo for ovirt-*". Please help me. Thank You.

Any reason for that, considering that RHEL 8 is not listed among the supported ones (for hypervisor or engine) neither in latest stable 4.3.3 ( https://ovirt.org/release/4.3.3/#centos--rhel ), nor in latest release candidate for upcoming 4.3.4 ( https://ovirt.org/release/4.3.4/ )? Supported only as a guest, both on oVirt 4.3.3 (even if here the term "support" could be less appropriate perhaps...) and in RHV 4.3 ( https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/htm... )

RHEL 8 system python is python 3.6, and oVirt is not ready yet for python 3. We hope to complete python 3 support in oVirt 4.4. Nir

Actually in RHEL 8 you have no default python and you can choose between 2.7 or 3.6 https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/05/07/what-no-python-in-red-hat-ente... But probably it makes sense to combine shift to RHEL 8 in oVirt with python 3 for longer term support Gianluca

But this is short term support, unlike the system python (python 3.6) which will be supported for many years. But probably it makes sense to combine shift to RHEL 8 in oVirt with python
3 for longer term support
It may be possible to make oVirt work on RHEL 8 using python 2.7, but we are working on the long term solution. Nir
