Hi Marko,
I don't think there is a way to emulate a non-native architecture.
Engine doesn't have ARM support and it cannot handle ARM (native or
emulated) hosts. You could try to run emulated ARM VMs presented as x86
to Engine using Vdsm hooks but I doubt it would work.
Oh I just sent a draft I had in my mailbox without noticing this comment
and I see we both mentioned Vdsm hook
What is the source of the doubts about Vdsm hooks to work for this?
I'm afraid the only way is to add ARM support to oVirt. My former
colleague has played with running oVirt on Raspberry Pi hosts some years
ago (there are traces of that effort in Vdsm) and I think adding ARM
support should be, at least in theory, possible. Particular features
available would be mostly dependent on ARM support in QEMU and libvirt.
Regards,
Milan
