Please do not upgrade again, systemd 239-18 is the version used in CentOS
8.1, and oVirt-4.4 is targeting CentOS 8.1 currently.
That openvswitch-2.11.1-5.el8.x86_64 does not work flawless on CentOS
Stream is documented on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1832725

If you like to test on CentOS Stream, there is an experimental repo in
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dominik/OpenvSwitch/
which might change, disappear, or break your installation.
