This seem to be my case. Anyone from oVirt team can confirm?

Hi, OK, thanks for the tip. I always upgraded nodes via oVirt web interface, which is now 4.4.7, and I assume it can't update node 4.2 -> 4.3, because 4.3 is too old.

If the hardware is old, and won't support EL8, the best option is to update to oVirt 4.3.10 and update CentOS to 7u9.
