Hi, oVirt Node will persist packages installed on the system across updates.
Official documentation about this is here:
https://ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Hosts.html#ovirt-node
According to documentation at
https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/appe-Manually_Updating_Hosts.html
you should check after the upgrade that all the needed packages have been
persisted.

A very outdated feature page for this is here:
https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/node/node-next-persistence.html
