#2 Couldn't find Advanced Virtualization packages for CentOS9Stream
Closed by sbonazzo. Opened by kowshik.

Reopen Issue

I am not finding Advanced Virtualization packages for CentOS 9 Stream for ppc64le architecture on any of the available repos.

If they are already available, please help me with the repo URL. If not, please let me know when can I expect these packages to be available for ppc64le arch.

Advanced Virtualization converged into the main virt:rhel module in 8.6. So Advanced Virtualization is not needed anymore in CentOS Stream 8 and CentOS Stream 9.

Thanks for the response @sbonazzo

I think my description was not clear to explain my problem. Basically my question is that, I don't see the virtualization packages like virt-install, qemu-kvm etc which are available on c8s.

I want to be able to use virtualization in CentOS on ppc64le architecture, how do I go about doing that?

Do I need to use the module virt:rhel on c9s? If yes, Could you please give me some more clarity on how CentOS is dealing with the modules.

Is there a dedicated repo for modules? If yes, Could you please help me with the URL

virtualization packages on ppc64le have been dropped on CentOS Stream 9 / RHEL 9: https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=17707 only guest related packages are available. I couldn't find a bz tracking why virtualization on ppc64le has been dropped in RHEL 9 so I would suggest to ask on #centos-stream IRC channel or open a ticket in bugzilla for it.
