Fixed In Version: ovirt-engine-4.5.0
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
The Advanced Virtualization module (virt:av) has been merged into the standard RHEL virtualization module (virt:rhel) as part of the RHEL 8.6 release. Due to this change, the host deploy and host upgrade flows have been updated to properly enable the virt:rhel module during new installation of the RHEL 8.6 host and during upgrade of an existing RHEL 8.5 or earlier host to a RHEL 8.6 host.

oVirt gerrit 117961 0 master MERGED core: Use virt:rhel module for RHEL 8.6+ 2022-01-04 07:04:15 UTC

Description Martin Perina 2021-11-15 10:11:29 UTC 
In RHEL 8.4/8.5 we are using virt:av dnf module to make advanced virtualization packages available on RHV hypervisor. In RHEL 8.6 and newer releases the virt:av doesn't exist anymore and advanced virtualization packages are going to be shipped in standard virt:rhel module, so we need to update our host deploy and host upgrade code to use virt:rhel module in RHEL 8.6+
Comment 1 Michal Skrivanek 2021-11-16 15:48:39 UTC 
i think "av" will continue to exist and be available, it will just have old packages. More the reason to change it:)
Comment 4 Tadeas Kozub 2022-03-24 11:05:33 UTC 
Verified on ovirt engine version: 4.5.0.1-601.f26e9ea8cac5.3.el8ev

Host playbook chooses correct module stream - 'dnf -y module enable virt:rhel'.
