Just what the world needs, more software subscriptions. /s

Though we are talking about Broadcom, so I can't say I am surprised.

Well our red hat account manager said OpenShift virtualisation (what I meant by ovirt and why I included it with Red hat) was their replacement for RHV.

They did also say all the rest though. That said in NA there are a couple of huge esxi to OpenShift virtualisation migrations we have white papers about. Our testing just found too many missing features compared to vmwares offerings

Well, they're wrong. It has been clearly communicated that OpenShift Virt is not a replacement for RHV. It does not do the enterprise things like having concepts of dataceners, etc... It is to help people migrate to containerization.

That's just sales being sales. Just because you can use a hammer to drive a screw doesn't mean it's the right tool for the job. Which is clearly the conclusion you already came to.
