Description Direct Docs Feedback 2023-03-16 15:09:16 UTC

We don't ship the bits to support staging-ovirt based virtualized control planes in OSP17. We should remove, or update this section.

We may also want to add a something to releasenotes that staging-ovirt is no longer supported.

Hi Harald, 

I have 25 mentions of Red Hat Virtualization in the director guide alone. Should we remove all mentions of it?

Thanks
Fiona

We should not mention using the staging-ovirt driver, i.e managing Red Hat Virtualization VM's via Ironic.
Customers can still use Red Hat Virtualization, but they must then use the pre-provisioned approach. (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2177619#c6)

I think what at a minimum should be removed is: 26.2. steps 1. 2. and 3. - the other instructions are related to manual configuration in Red Hat Virtualization which is still relevant if using pre-provisioned nodes.

But, honestly since Red Hat Virtualiztion is going EOL - I think we can just remove it all from the 17.x docs?
It does not make sense to guide the user to deploy on a platform that will not be supported for much longer.

Yes, that is what I was thinking - RHEV is EOL soon so we should remove all mentions from OSP17.0. Let me take a look at it and I will create an MR for your approval.

Hi James,

Could you please confirm from a DF point of view that removing all mentions of RHEV is correct for OSP 17.
I just want a DF perspective and OK before I merge the changes.

Thank you
Fiona

We'll need Gil to comment on this, as I can't say for sure.
