[ovirt-users] Re: Bad CPU TYPE after Centos 8.3

Hi, that CPU looks rather good to me: KVM/oVirt should love it (as would I)! I am actually more inclined to believe that it may be a side channel mitigation issue: KVM is distingiuishing between base CPUs and CPUs with enabled mitigations to ensure that you won't accidentally migrate a VM from a 'safe' CPU to one that's vulnerable. So I suggest you have a look at that, seen what's enabled in BIOS and via microcode updates and check that against what the cluster wants. Perhaps it may involve as little as ensuring all current patches are in (with reboots) after the update to 8.3. E.g. you might see this when the cluster was previously running on a system with mitigations active, but now mitigations are off (e.g. because the latest microcode updates are not loaded yet). My personal impression is that it wasn't a terribly good idea to mix mitigations and CPU capabilities, but that they didn't have time/means for a full redesign to what they might have hoped was a singular/one shot issue, before it developed into a whole family of cancers.
