Maybe this is a problem with ovirt-host-deploy, it must be configured to avoid overwriting
your vdsm.conf file. There are instructions in the wiki:

Hi,
I tried to test various engine features related to PPC support,
However since I don't have a real Power PC HW I tried using the fake PPC configuration
introduced by
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/18718
So I added the following configuration to /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf on a x86_64 host:
fake_kvm_support=true
fake_kvm_architecture=ppc64
And indeed it looked successful as you can see below
[root@bazulay1 ~]# vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep -i cpu
cpuCores = '4'
cpuFlags = 'powernv,model_POWER7_v2.3'
cpuModel = 'POWER 7 (fake)'
cpuSockets = '1'
cpuSpeed = '3401.000'
cpuThreads = '8'
However after creating the appropriate cluster:
CPU Architecture = ppc64
CPU name = IBM POWER 7* (meaning I tried all IBM POWER 7... cpus)
Adding the host always ended in non operational status with the error:
"Host bazulay1 has architecture x86_64 and cannot join Cluster TESTDAY-CLUSTER which
has architecture ppc64."
Thanks
