Hi, I'm attempting to build an oVirt node on a server. The host is an RHEL 8.4,
I'm attempting to install OVirt 4.4.6 as per instructions at
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_eng....
I'm receiving the following error:
[ INFO ] The host has been set in non_operational status, deployment errors: code 156:
Host
redacted.com moved to Non-Operational state as host CPU type is not supported in this
cluster compatibility version or is not supported at all, code 9000: Failed to verify
Power Management configuration for Host redacted.com.,
[ INFO ] skipping: [localhost]
[ INFO ] You can now connect to
https://redacted.com:6900/ovirt-engine/ and check the
status of this host and eventually remediate it, please continue only when the host is
listed as 'up'
Now, I note that initially lm_sensors was unable to detect CPU temperatures, which was
subsequently resolved (I don't recall how), however the issue still remains.
The CPU is an Xeon E5-2630 (IvyBridge). I cannot see any definitive CPU support catalog,
so I'm unsure if this is no longer supported.
Within engine-logs-2021-11-13T12:22:10Z/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log, there were
occurrences of `<model fallback='forbid'>IvyBridge-IBRS</model>`. From
what I can tell, spectre/meltdown bugs have been mitigated:
```
egrep -e "model|cpu family|stepping|microcode" /proc/cpuinfo | sort | uniq
cpu family : 6
microcode : 0x42e
model : 62
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v2 @ 2.60GHz
stepping : 4
```
In the installation documents, IvyBridge seems supported but the evidence above suggests
it may not be. Can anyone advise on if this processor is _actually_ supported, and if so
how I can remediate the issue? Thanks!
