My nodes run on natively installed CentOS, not factory oVirt node images, because of necessary RAID drivers and custom scripts (for example, in case of power failure which is over 5 min they loop through all running VMS and shutdown them gracefully, then shutdown node itself, + RAID monitoring script which sends notifications on Telegram messenger). This seem to be my case. Anyone from oVirt team can confirm?
