For upload and download via the SDK, please see: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/upload_disk.py https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/download_disk.py Both scripts are standalone command line tool, try --help for more info. Upload/download from UI (via browser) is not supported yet, since engine is not completely ported to python 3. > Installation instructions > > For the engine: either use appliance or: > > - Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from > http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso > > - dnf install > https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm > > - dnf update (reboot if needed) > > - dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps 389-ds > > - dnf install ovirt-engine > > - engine-setup > > For the nodes: > > Either use oVirt Node ISO or: > > - Install CentOS Linux 8 from > http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso > ; select minimal installation > > - dnf install > https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm > > - dnf update (reboot if needed) > > - Attach the host to engine and let it be deployed. > > What’s new in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta? > > - > > Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning > RHEL8), for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts > - > > Easier network management and configuration flexibility with > NetworkManager > - > > VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI > firmware > - > > Support for direct passthrough of local host disks to VMs > - > > Live migration improvements for High Performance guests. > - > > New Windows Guest tools installer based on WiX framework now moved to > VirtioWin project > - > > Dropped support for cluster level prior to 4.2 > - > > Dropped SDK3 support > - > > 4K disks support > > Correction, 4k is supported only for file based storage. iSCSI/FC storage do not support 4k disks yet. > > - > > Exporting a VM to a data domain > - > > Editing of floating disks > - > > Integrating ansible-runner into engine, which allows a more detailed > monitoring of playbooks executed from engine > - > > Adding/reinstalling hosts are now completely based on Ansible > - > > The OpenStack Neutron Agent cannot be configured by oVirt anymore, it > should be configured by TripleO instead > > > This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: > > * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 or newer > > * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer > > This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures > for: > > * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 or newer > > * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer > > * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.1 (available for x86_64 only) > > See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new > features and bugs fixed. > > If you manage more than one oVirt instance, OKD or RDO we also recommend > to try ManageIQ <http://manageiq.org/>. > > In such a case, please be sure to take the qc2 image and not the ova > image. > > Notes: > > - oVirt Appliance is already available for CentOS Linux 8 > > - oVirt Node NG is already available for CentOS Linux 8 > > Additional Resources: > > * Read more about the oVirt 4.4.0 release highlights: > http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/ > > * Get more oVirt project updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ovirt > > * Check out the latest project news on the oVirt blog: > http://www.ovirt.org/blog/ > > > [1] http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/ > [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4-pre/iso/ > > -- > > Sandro Bonazzola > > MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV > > Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> > > [email protected] > <https://www.redhat.com/>* > <https://www.redhat.com/en/summit?sc_cid=7013a000002D2QxAAK>* > *Red Hat respects your work life balance.
