The problem isn’t with Ovirt 4.4.x, it’s the underlying red hat/centos 8 stream OS that no longer supports the Emulex. So if you have an existing system, it should be easy enough to switch to the EL Repo kernels and the proceed with the 4.4.10 updates. It’s a bigger headache if you’re installing fresh, in which case using a different OS that supports kernel drivers for your hardware should work.
Unless you’re using Ovirt Node, in which case I don’t think there’s a good solution for that short of spinning your own with a custom kernel. > On Apr 14, 2022, at 12:57 AM, Thomas Kamalakis <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Darrell > > I think I understand your point, but it looks to me like such a bother to > have to do things like this.
