ppc64le support was contributed by IBM https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/virt/ppc64le/kvm-common/ but the latest qemu-kvm there is 7.0 from 2022. ARM packages for ovirt are still being built in COPR and in CentOS Virtualization SIG, not sure if someone ever gave them a try -- Sandro Bonazzola

Engine planning guide has the following - is this still correct.
by Geoff O'Callaghan 18 Mar '25

Hi team, The planning guide has: Enterprise Linux 9 doesn’t support virtualization for ppc64le: CentOS Virtualization SIG<https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Virtualization> is working on re-introducing virtualization support but it’s not ready yet. The oVirt project also provides packages for the 64-bit ARM architecture (ARM 64) but only as a Technology Preview. Ie. Do we / are we going to support ppc ? Unlikely, or ARM - quite possible ? Thanks Geoff

Re: Yuriy about NVMe over fabrics for oVirt

Using Managed Block Storage (cinderlib) with a driver that supports NVMe/TCP. Lastest oVirt has the needed changes to configure this. Benny and I tested with Lightbits[1] driver in a virtualized environment. This is basically a POC that may work for you or not, or require more work that you will have to do yourself since not much development is happening now in oVirt. 2. Using the devices via multipath Legacy storage domains are based on multipath. It may be possible to use multipath on top of NVMe devices, and in this case they look like a normal LUN so you can create a storage domain from such devices. oVirt will not handle connections for you, and all the devices must be connected to all nodes at the same time, just like FC/iSCSI LUNs. You will likely not get the performance benefit of NVMe/TCP. 3. Using host devices If what you need is using some devices (which happen to be connected via be NVMe/TCP), maybe you can attach them to a VM directly (using host devices). This gives the best possible performance but no features (snapshots, backup, live migration, live storage migration, etc.) [1] https://www.lightbitslabs.com/ Nir

Reminder: CentOS Stream 8 is now EOL
by Sandro Bonazzola 03 Jun '24

03 Jun '24

Hi, just a reminder that CentOS Stream 8 reached its end of life at the end of last month on Friday, May 31, 2024. As it has been announced by CentOS project[1], all the CentOS Stream 8 repositories are going to be archived at vault.centos.org . Who didn't update yet to CentOS Stream 9 will probably hit several errors related to this archiving: you'll need to manually adjust the repository url to point to the new location at vault.centos.org. The archiving is going to happen today [2] with the decommissioning of the nodes used by the CentOS Community Build System used for oVirt builds for Stream 8 within the CentOS Virtualization SIG. At this point, the recommendation is to upgrade to CentOS Stream 9 (or derived) as soon as practical. For those who are pushing changes to the oVirt project, please note GitHub actions may start to fail on CentOS Stream 8 (and with that, the builds for oVirt Node and oVirt Appliance). It's up to you to decide if you want to change the config there to use a different el8 distribution for running the tests or just turn off el8 and rely only on CentOS Stream 9 tests.

I know they have been deprecated and can be replaced with Data, but we still use the ISO and Export domain types and like having them. Cheers! ... Wild

In this one I was able to set you as an assignee. The only difference I see compared to the other issues is that in this one there was one comment from you.

Looks like I'm not allowed to set you as assignee there, but I closed it mentioning you and your PR there. If I figure out how to set you as an assignee there, I'll be more than happy to do that.
