oVirt 4.4.2 is now generally available
The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.2 , as of September 17th, 2020. This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics, as compared to oVirt 4.3. Important notes before you install / upgrade Please note that oVirt 4.4 only supports clusters and data centers with compatibility version 4.2 and above. If clusters or data centers are running with an older compatibility version, you need to upgrade them to at least 4.2 (4.3 is recommended). Please note that in RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 several devices that worked on EL7 are no longer supported. For example, the megaraid_sas driver is removed. If you use Enterprise Linux 8 hosts you can try to provide the necessary drivers for the deprecated hardware using the DUD method (See the users’ mailing list thread on this at https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/NDSVUZSESOXEFJN... ) Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>.

BTW: the iso blocker bug is indeed related to upgrade failure and host entering into emergency mode... It is not clear to me if it is ok and safe to update from 4.4.0 (deployed as node ng sytem) to 4.4.2 (involving install of the new .img filelayer) if the bug is not completely solved.... Can anyone shed some light, please? Thanks, Gianluca

Sure, we'll issue a release announcement for the oVirt Node update as soon as we get the bug fixed.
Thanks, Gianluca

OK, thanks.
But indeed there is something strange. Suppose I have an 4.4.0 node (when CentOS 8.2 not already released and there was the pre-release), can I update to 4.4.2? If I execute "yum update" on this system I get: [root@ovirt01 ~]# yum update Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 49 kB/s | 32 kB 00:00 CentOS-8 - Gluster 7 14 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 virtio-win builds roughly matching what will be shipped in upcoming 5.6 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 Copr repo for EL8_collection owned by sbonazzo 8.2 kB/s | 3.6 kB 00:00 Copr repo for gluster-ansible owned by sac 9.4 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:00 Copr repo for ovsdbapp owned by mdbarroso 9.6 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:00 Copr repo for nmstate-stable owned by nmstate 8.5 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:00 Copr repo for NetworkManager-1.22 owned by networkmanager 8.3 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:00 Advanced Virtualization packages for x86_64 36 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 CentOS-8 - oVirt 4.4 19 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 CentOS-8 - OpsTools - collectd 23 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 Latest oVirt 4.4 Release 3.9 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00 Dependencies resolved. ==================================================================================================== Package Architecture Version Repository Size ==================================================================================================== Installing: ovirt-node-ng-image-update noarch 4.4.1.5-1.el8 ovirt-4.4 781 M replacing ovirt-node-ng-image-update-placeholder.noarch 4.4.0-2.el8 Transaction Summary ==================================================================================================== Install 1 Package Total download size: 781 M Is this ok [y/N]: And another guy I'm in contact with, who already has 4.4.1 installed, get no updates available.... Does this mean that even if 4.4.2 has been released (at which level at this point????), an ovirt node cannot be upgraded? And a plain CentOS host instead, could it be updated? Gianluca

oVirt Node has been released today, you should now be able to see it. Please be aware of the known issues mentioned in the announce and in the release notes.
