This is covered by RHV 4.4 upgrade documentation: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/upgrade_guide/updating_the_red_hat_virtualization_manager_minor_updates pointing to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5480561 In RHV 4.4.5 we are going to stop using ansible channel and shipping the required ansible version within RHV channels.
rright, but for now this is fixed in documentation and it should have been followed *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1887268 ***
