6 months ago Main Issues found:
- [ ]
libvirt-develpackage is not available by default in rhel 9. (Requires codeready entitlements (CRB channel) to use but may not even be needed) - KVM Host - [ ] package "network-scripts" does not exists on RHEL9. I did find
NetworkManager-initscripts-updown.noarch : Legacy ifup/ifdown scripts for NetworkManager that replace initscripts (network-scripts)- KVM bastion issue - [ ] robertdebock.openvpn dependencies cannot be installed on RHEL 9. Need to find alternatives for multi cluster. - KVM Host issue
- [ ] Password authentication is turned off by default in RHEL 9. Can we overcome by adding below to kickstart
echo "PasswordAuthentication yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config echo "PermitRootLogin yes" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config systemctl restart sshd- KVM bastion issue
- [ ] FIPS installations will have issues with oc binary (this issues is at openssl level and may not need out attention) - general
Minor Issues:
- [ ] The default python3 package version in RHEL 8 is 3.6.x and RHEL9 is 3.9.x. With this python 3.9 version you are only able to install ansible 8.7. Not higher. The latest ansible version 9.2 requires python 3.11. Not a pressing issue as standard
ansible-corepackage in rhel is enough to run our playbooks - controller issue
Note: ocp 4.15 onwards, the oc mirror binary required higher glibc version not available on rhel 8 and order oc mirror cannot be used to mirror ocp 4.15 if you are using rhel 8 as mirror host.

The ansible code needs to support RHEL 9 for the KVM hosts AND guests.
