Description of problem: For really big environment could be paintful to migrate all hosts in environment to RHEL8 due to RHV 4.4 like it was for 3.5 - 3.6 - 4.0 migration and I think if we can automate it, we should make the migration easier as much is possible. From my perspective, it is possible to do it cleanly with combination of Satellite provisioning with some playbooks which can trigger necessary actions on hosts (one by one) and Satellite side. Now it should be possible to provision a host into RHV from Satellite - Satellite as external provider: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506547 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1684170 In a bit dirty way, just simply to deploy and manage a some kind of PXE (tftp) server with RHEL8 provisioning (a PXE appliance running on top of RHV for RHV-H/RHEL8 provisioning) I mentioned only examples, please find a best way how to do it which will be suitable for the most users.
Note: Ansible role and inclusion in cluster-upgrade would be nice, though we might have some design blockers. Worst case scenario, well-documented flow, and blocked/tested unsupported ways.
