Due to Bug 2091581, while installing the virtualization host
you will be missing nmstate-plugin-ovsdb or python3-libnmstate unless you install them from
CentOS build nmstate-2.0.0-2.el9.
While installing it you need to ensure openvswitch2.15 will be installed instead of any later version.
Here’s how to do that:
dnf install -y centos-release-ovirt45
dnf install -y ovirt-openvswitch
dnf install -y \
