We upgraded from 4.4.5 to 4.4.6, but the Hosted Engine seems to stay on CentOS Linux.

Yes, existing hosted engine installations are not being upgraded automatically to CentOS Stream, only oVirt Node is being upgraded to Stream.

Should we be converting the hosted engine to CentOS Stream?

oVirt 4.4.6 has been tested on CentOS Stream but should work completely fine on CentOS Linux 8.3. No rush to switch to Stream but yes, switching to Stream is recommende.

Is it safe to follow the procedure at https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/ for this?

Yes, it's safe.

Thanks,

The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.6 , as of May 4th, 2021.

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... )

Rebase on CentOS Stream

Starting with oVirt 4.4.6 both oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance are based on CentOS Stream.

You can still install oVirt 4.4.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3, CentOS Linux 8.3 or equivalent but in order to use cluster level 4.6 you’ll have to wait for 8.4 to be available.

Please note that existing oVirt Nodes updating to 4.4.6 will automatically be based on CentOS Stream. Documentation
