Migration flows are tested for RHV, so it should work for oVirt if you wait until the RHV version was released, and you have same RHEL-like version as was tested with RHV. > I know that the documentation says we always need to > make sure we update to each individaul major release, but I'm just > wondering if this is something that oVirt team tests with each release? > I'm very concerned for potential of failed upgrade, and the potential > headaches that it could cause. > > I see the 4.4.6 was released in time with RHEL 8.3.

RHV 4.4.6 was released with RHEL 8.4, and is oVit 4.4.6 compatible with RHEL 8.4, so it should work with any REHEL 8.4-like distro. But note that oVirt uses the advanced virtualization stream, providing libvirt 7.0.0 and qemu-kvm 5.2.0: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/virt/x86_64/advanced-virtualization/Packages/q/ Looking in Rocky packages, this is not available yet: https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ To replace Centos as the production OS for oVirt, the community must also rebuild advanced virtualization. You can try to use Rocky and pull in the advanced-virtualization repo from Centos as a temporary solution.
