Hi,

1) My last oVirt node commissioned long time ago, I didn’t use oVirt Node ISO 
because after node upgrade  it wiped out all my custom scripts.
I used standard CentOS distro ISO, and then add host in oVirt engine, which 
installs necessary components.
With some tweaks it should work with Alma or Rocky linux.

Someone from developer team can clarify this ?
Even without tweaks it should work perfectly on Alma9 and Alma10.
This because oVirt is tested on AlmaLinux also!


2) I found in my notes this link to blog (have not tried myself yet.):
Configure oVirt Node (Hypervisor) on Rocky Linux 8 / AlmaLinux 8

3) Anyone who is interested may find my scripts for oVirt node and VM 
deployment here:

@Andrei, What about what the Blog states, "To everyone using the oVirt Node NG we 
urge you to switch over to another way of using the product for ensured stability and 
security due to the way of how that product is structured."? OVirt is recommending 
the no one use the oVirt Node CentOS 9 ISO anymore. Could I use Alma 9 as the stand-alone 
oVirt engine instead of using the oVirt Node CentOS 9 ISO? Or would you recommend to 
continue using the oVirt Node CentOS 9 ISO?
