Description Avital Pinnick 2022-03-02 09:03:49 UTC

RHEL 8.6 (GA: May 10, 2022) introduces ansible-core 2.12, making ansible-core 2.9 obsolete. ovirt-4.5 will switch to ansible-core 2.12 (GA: May 24, 2022).

To avoid a failed upgrade during the 2-week window, the `yum update` command should be changed to `yum update --nobest`. The `--nobest` option can be left in place because it will not do any harm. The link to the Kbase article on Ansible conflicts can be removed.

This change affects all modules for updating RHVM.

hmm...I don't think it's useful o change this for 2 weeks. Especially if it may mean that without it the upgrade is failing as we do want it to fail until 4.4SP1 is out - we don't want 4.4.10 to run on RHEL 8.6 as it's not really tested that well.
