As oVirt 4.4.X is using EL8 , you just need to install it with CentOS8 and 
check if everything goes well. I know that some old hardware was deprecated , 
but elrepo repository helps alot in such cases.

Hi All,

I've just joined the mailing list as my organisation needs a new virtualisation 
solution.  VMware is prohibitively expensive for a small company like ours and 
of all the opensource solutions, oVirt looks like the best fit for our needs.

Our existing virtual infrastructure is primarily made up of an old vSphere 5 
cluster (expired license on old and out of warranty hardware) and a couple of 
newer standalone (free) ESXi servers.  Both the cluster and the standalones 
have shared NFS storage so I can move VMs around.

I want to take a couple of older (2014ish) servers which will serve as the 
management host and one compute node initially.  Then, I'd like to migrate VMs 
from one vSphere host at a time to the newly created oVirt cluster and convert 
the now empty vSphere ESXi hosts into oVirt compute nodes as I go. 

Firstly - Would new compute host hardware (2020) work in a (2014) based ovirt 
cluster? 

If so

Would I be able to take advantage of the more advanced features of ovirt like 
live migration etc.. with a mix of new and old hardware 

Thanks
