Install Oracle Virtualization Manager in OL8

All,
The directions in https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manager/getstart/manager-install-kvm.html seem to be Oracle Linux 7 based. Can you do the same in Oracle Linux 8?

Nope, not yet. oVirt 4.4 is based on RHEL8 so the oVirt-release that is mentioned there isn't supported on OL8, only on OL7.
You could use the upstream oVirt 4.4-release until Oracle releases it's own roll of oVirt 4.4 (www.ovirt.org).

Andreas,
Thanks for the response. Will install OL7 instead!

is there an easy way to backup/restore everything in order to switch from ovirt to olvm, when olvm 4.4 releases? when I say "everything" i really mean everything including the self-hosted engine on a single node with gluster, a setup that fails on olvm 4.3.6 but works on ovirt node ng 4.3.9
also, I know Oracle does not announce anything officially beforehand, but could we get a clue on an aproximate ETA of olvm 4.4? I've lost hope for olvm 4.3.9

I'm trying to install on OL8.3 with no success - going to try getting version from ovirt.org as suggested, but was really hoping by now this would be working on 8.3!
Can we ask if this will ever be supported on 8.x versions?
