I've been running 4.5.4-1 on RHEL8 for a while now; been running fine for my needs. I was getting around the unholy dependency issue caused by the centos-release package conflicting with the redhat-release package by upgrading everything else -- not it. It's been necessary to do this since RHEL versions were higher than any CentOS 8 Stream versions. This time round since CentOS has been archived, I made sure to install anything I hadn't and then manually purged centos-release from the rpm database. This allowed RHEL to update to 8.10, including the release package this time. Not expecting an issue since there won't be any future patches coming from that repo. If I decide to stick with oVirt and install daily snapshots, I assume what I will have to do is setup a new CentOS Steam 9 server, create a backup of the old server, and then restore on the new server. Like what I did when I was forced to migrate from CentOS 8 to RHEL8 (with CentOS 8 Stream packages). Is this right? I haven't decided if I want to do this. CentOS Stream 9 is supported until mid 2027; RHEL 8.10 is supported until mid 2029. Barring any new features or major incompatibility, I really don't see a pressing reason to do this. In fact, with no one stepping in to take over the project, there is a better chance of being supported by sticking with RHEL 8.10 (2+ years).
I think the best way forward would be https://proxmox.com/en/ On 7.7.2024 г. 19:35 ч., eshwayri@gmail.com wrote:

I like proxmox, but when your having a SAN solution the storage features are minimum. Are current solution is based on VMware with iSCSI to our SAN. Our SAN doesn't support ZFS and only option would be LVM over iSCSI with has a huge performance hit. So i'm now looking at oVirt with RHEL8.10, but my concerned how long this project will continue. I don't want to migrated the environment again after 3-5 years, because the project has stopped. I there somebody how can take my concern away? ;)
Yea Proxmox is good for small clusters and basic stuff. Not for enterprise environments imo. Once we have found some good oVirt dev, we will contribute more to the project and keep it alive :) The more people contribute, the better it would be of course!

Well, Proxmox forces everyone to use Debian. So a much better alternative would be Apache CloudStack: https://cloudstack.apache.org/ Apache CloudStack allows you to use almost every Linux distribution available: https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.19.0.2/releasenotes/compat.html#supp... That being said, oVirt is not dead yet. Some people have started to contribute and joined the oVirt organization on GitHub https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/commits/master/ https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/commits/master/ Besides that, Oracle is still maintaining it's own version of oVirt: https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/post/oracle-linux-virtualization-man... https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/ovirt45/x86_64/index.html Ciao - Frank
I am aware of all the alternatives; my question though is if I do stick it out with oVirt what should I do: If I decide to stick with oVirt and install daily snapshots, I assume what I will have to do is setup a new CentOS Steam 9 server, create a backup of the old server, and then restore on the new server. Like what I did when I was forced to migrate from CentOS 8 to RHEL8 (with CentOS 8 Stream packages). Is this right? I would also add that will I be able to restore the engine backup on the new up todate server form the version I have?
