Ovirt 4.4.10 running on RHEL 8.7

Hi there, we currently have ovirt 4.4.9 running on RHEL 8.5. Can we upgrade the cluster to ovirt 4.4.10 on RHEL 8.7? Do we need to following these steps in this link? https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html Many thanks, James

I am running 4.5.4 on RedHat EL8.7(~ish), so the latest is possible; not so sure about 4.4.10. I had to look through my logs to see what order I did things in. 04/29/22 Upgraded to 4.4.9-1 10/08/22 @ 19:19 Upgraded to 4.4.10.2-1 10/08/22 @ 19:43 Installed the new CentOS stream repos (as detailed in the link) 10/08/22 @ 19:46 Installed centos-release-ovirt45 11/27/22 @ 17:46 Upgraded to 4.5.2.5-1 11/27/22 @ 18:21 Upgraded to EL8.6 I suspect I wanted to go to 4.5 on 10/08, but ran into problems. Waited for the next release of 4.5, and actually upgraded about a month later. It doesn't look like I ran 4.4.10 on EL8 -- sorry. I sort of remember there were issues wit the regular release CentOS repos going away, which is why that link has you add the new stream repos. At the same time there were missing packages on the oVirt side; not sure if everything was resolved. I ended up moving up to 4.5. If you want to upgrade I do recommend you go to 8.6 first, and then at the end go to 8.7. Reason is the "~ish" when I say I am running EL8.7. You get a package collision. Problem: installed package centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch obsoletes redhat-release < 9 provided by redhat-release-8.7-0.3.el8.x86_64 With -nobest I am effectively running 8.7, so I tolerate this. Hoping when 8.8 comes out this will work itself out.

Thanks for your reply. After studying the documentation further I think the safest option will to set the rhel release to 8.5 while we are running 4.4 subscription-manager release --set=8.5 subscription-manager release --show Then update the cluster to 4.4.10. After which we set the release to rhel 8.6 and update to ovit 4.5 following the instruction in the link https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html What are people's thoughts on this?
